Brief Answer:
Yes you need to take Fosamax again.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Osteoporosis is an age related disorder. The bone density decreases again with age once it is treated. 10 years after treatment with fosamax, you may need to have the treatment again. Do start with the treatment with fosamax as advised by your doctor. You can also start taking strontium supplement - code grow bone along with it to have a better response to treatment.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
