Tymlos lower dosage - Did it improve your osteoporosis?

@eightlb I had a 20% gain in spine and 9% gain in hip- pretty dramatic- and went from severe to borderline in spine. I did 6 clicks for quite awhile (doc said that was a therapeutic dose) then got to 7. I alternated so that if I had an easy day I did 7 and if I had an important thing to do, I might do 6.

I had the same threshold where going to 8 made a huge difference in side effects. What a mystery! Toward the end I did do 8 occasionally but just a few times.

My doc told me I would have gains at 60mcg. It took quite awhile for me to tolerate 70mcg. You are probably fine either way. Is your doctor on board? Glad you got on the 60mcg!!!!

Hi Windyshores,

Thank you for your comment! And, thank for the suggestion of alternating to a higher dose on calm days.

And, it was especially reassuring to hear that for you jumping from 7 to 8 clicks resulted in a huge difference in side effects. I was beginning to think that my body's poor reaction to 7 clicks (as opposed to 6 clicks being relatively bearable) was purely psychosomatic.
