My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (1023)Comment receiving replies
I did Tymlos first and am now doing Evenity but I am the only patient in my doc's practice doing this, and I had to pester him 🙂 I had excellent gains on Tymlos. Many docs seem to be starting with Evenity these days, but it is quite new.
As you may have read, some of us try Tymlos and if the full dose is too much, we go down to 1/4 or 1/2 dose and ramp up so our body adjusts. I did that and managed to go from 2 out of 8 "clicks" of the adjustable pen (20mcg ) to 7 (70mcg) over time. I liked that it was daily because it leaves the body quickly (half life is 1.7 hours).

Thank you for the reply. I had read your comments about starting low on Tymlos and that is one of the reasons I was interested and also a bone builder. I listened to a video featuring Dr. Leder, which someone had posted, and at the very end of the video, around 58-59 minute mark, he mentioned he would not put someone with low total hip or femoral neck scores on Teriparatide because bone density doesn’t go up at all in hip or femoral neck and cortoporosity in cortical aspects increases. He said to a lesser extent Tymlos.
So, have you heard this or maybe I misheard what he said since I don’t understand any of this. He did not say what he would give, unfortunately. I am completely overwhelmed by all of this and want to make the right decision as that will affect me going forward.
