Is medication really necessary?

Not the usual ones of dizziness, rapid heart rate, and palpitations. I experienced fatigue and insomnia but the worst side effect was terrible constipation and bloating, to the point that even taking laxatives (Miralax) and stool softeners did not alleviate it.
It was so bad that it was distracting me from work and reducing my energy levels and willingness to exercise. I tried three times to make it work and made sure I was very well hydrated while I was on it.
My belly increased three inches in size due to the bloating.
I also had joint pain on round 2. Round 3 wasn't as bad but the side effect mentioned above was enough to get me to stop it again.

I've had very bad constipation after 4 months of Teriparatide. Now it won't go away. I take supplements, laxatives, senna. Early on my Dr gave me Linzess to try and on 245 mg I went 5x in 1 day but felt better. Now 7 months in I'm having severe fatigue and laying in bed. I have insomnia but I've never been this fatigued. I'm debating about stopping but my bone density is too low and I don't think I can tolerate anything else. I also have a roll of stomach fat I did not have and after not being able to gain weight for 4 years, I've gained 4 or 5 lbs. I'm up to 99 lbs. 5' 2".

Thanks so much. I start Tymlos on Monday and I am so scared. Now even more so.
