Yes, my side effects diminished but it took a bit. I tried fosamax but only took 2 doses (2 weeks) because I ended up with horrible diarrhea. Started forteo but after 4 months my insurance wanted to switch me to tymlos (cost). Unfortunately I got bad muscle spasms in my back, so the doctor sent an appeal to the insurance and I'm back on forteo. Quite a roller coaster! Thanks for asking!
