@jhankins there is no harm in backing down to 1/2 or eve n 1/4 dose of Tymlos. The pen has clicks that measure the dose and 8 clicks is a full dose. Many of us have done this and ramped up to give our bodies time to adjust. I got up to 7/8 dose and had excellent gains.

I had better luck with palpitations when I switched to morning. If your blood pressure is low, that can contribute. I bought a bp cuff and stayed well hydrated to keep bp up (salt helps too). Everyone is different!

I appreciate this. My rheumatologist did not mention any ability to dose down to adjust to the meds. I saw it here in this group. I would think dosage would be different depending on the size of the individual as well. For instance, I’m just over five feet tall so it seems odd to me I’m given the same dose as someone who is much larger.
