@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.

Hi
The medicine is only good for 30 days so if you didn’t take the entire 8 clicks did u discard the rest after 30 days?
The Tymolos people say you can’t do a lesser dose but I have difficulty with meds and want to do less of a dosage.
Please respond.

What is a REMS test? I have had DEXA Scans but insurance only covers them every 2 years. I was on Boniva for 8 years for Osteopenia and have now been using Tymlos for 5 months as I just crossed over into Osteoporosis in my spine. I am eager to see the results. How quickly do you see results from Tymlos?
