it does seem like a large dose, and difficult to do daily. I've only done one dose of Alendronate, and found it hard to wait an hour. Also experienced nausea & stomach upset. Hope it's not that bad this week.
Alendronate is an aminobisphosphonate and clodronate is non-Amino. I did check one website and 1400mg seems to fall within (actually on the lower side) of the daily dosage.
Hope you get to the bottom of why your jaw is hurting.
take care,
Anna
