This is so helpful and is my plan with starting Tymlos: starting with 1/4 dose. I would like to know more about the rate of increasing the dose. Will you please tell us how many days till you upped the dose? And did you up it by one click at a time?

@daidylou you could try a half dose first.

There is no set schedule. It is very individual. And I think it may be a mistake to think that titrating up eliminates all side effects. The goal is tolerability, given the benefit of the drug.

I can't really remember but I probably did 10 days on 2 clicks, a week on 3 clicks, longer on 4, 5 and 6 clicks. I did 7 long term with a few times trying 8. You have to play it be year. Don't be afraid! And also play around with evening vs morning, hydrating, moving around vs resting etc.
