Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

I am new to using Tymlos, on it for 2 weeks. I see some people write about terrible side effects, wondering what your side effects are. I am experiencing terrible headaches. I am taking 3 Ibuprofen & a sleep aid 20 minutes before injections & go straight to bed, hoping to fall asleep before the headache starts. Most of the time it works but I certainly don't see this as a long-term plan.
Please tell me if those of you who reduced the dose consulted with your doctors or just did it on their own. I'm desperate to make this work but the headaches are just taking over me.
So happy to have found this group, nice to know I'm not alone.

I started Tymlos in June 2023 and had severe headaches on the full dose (8 clicks). After a month I dropped to 6 clicks and told my doctor. Headache less severe. Worked back up to full dose in October. Headache intensity less. Now rarely have a headache. I also had severe low back pain for 4 months

@bella0923 I did the dosage adjustments on my own but told my doctor. He now uses this method in his practice when needed!
In my experience the headaches went away in a couple of weeks but going down on the dose should help you. I also switched to mornings and the headaches didn't happen- no idea why.
You could try going down to 4 "clicks" and if that doesn't work, go to 2 and work your way up. I had excellent gains on 7 clicks, sometimes 6, and never the full 8.
