How long have you been taking half dose? And what side effects did you have? Curious for I have only gotten to four clicks once but had back pain and with my other problems wondered it the Tymlos added to the back pain and also my spine Dr wondered the same. I had to stop for couple of weeks and now back to two clicks for a week but began having more symptoms at three clicks. I wonder if it's just me or not.

@stress101, I could only manage 2 clicks at first and stayed on 2 clicks for 3 months. Then I broke my foot just by starting out for a walk. I pushed up to 3 clicks and did that for a couple weeks, then moved up to 4 clicks, but that was all I could tolerate. Side effects originally were dizziness, orthostatic hypotension and a queezy stomach. In time, I had no side effects on 4 clicks. I was on 4 clicks for 9 months. I saw a new endocrinologist who wanted me to try Forteo. Since she gave me a free sample, I tried it and surprisingly it didn't bother me. I was on a full dose of Forteo for 6 months. During the fifth month, I started having a lot of pain, fatigue and brain fog. I realized that I didn't have the energy to get much done. I changed back to 4 clicks of Tymlos a week ago. I have had some minor dizziness with it, still have some pain but less than with Forto,and I have more energy than when I was on Forteo. I have an endocrinologist appt next week and might get in trouble for changing my medicine on my own.
