I would so appreciate your response to these questions if your schedule permits:
1. Did you take Tymlos in the morning or at bedtime?
2. Did you experience nausea or vertigo?
3. Did you experience a decrease in blood pressure after injecting that made standing risky?

1. Took TYMLOS at bedtime as suggested by doctor.
2. I did experience nausea. It lasted 2-3 months—resulted in a bit of needed weight loss. FNP gave me a low dose of Ondansetron (dissolved on tongue) to use as needed.
3. No dizziness that made standing risky.

@susanjohnston, I took Tymlos at bedtime. I could not tolerate a full dose. I worked up from 20mcg to 40mcg and that was all I could tolerate. On a higher dose, I had dizziness, nausea, and orthostatic hypotension. Since I am a fall risk, I didn't think I should take a chance. I took a half dose for 10 months and had significant improvement in my spine according to a REMS test. There was no change in my hips. I am now taking a whole dose of Forteo and plan another REMS test in May to see results.
