Struggling with Tymlos medicine

I started Tymlos today and suggested to my NP that I begin on 2 clicks. No side effects today and I will ramp up slowly. I am 81 y.o., 5’2” and 121lbs. I don’t tolerate most oral
meds of any type well and was scared to death of Tymlos. But I caught this gradual approach on one of the forums this morning just before my appointment and am ever so grateful!

@judithideker just want to encourage you to move up to 6 or 7 clicks if you can, over the next weeks. I found that there were still side effects but very tolerable and only for an hour or two. Also, they tend to ease over time. Starting at two with no effects may mean you can go to 4 clicks (1/2 dose) fairly quickly in my experience! Good luck!
