Forteo and weight gain

I just found this group. I have been on Tymlos for 19 months and have gained about 10 pounds of fat around my waist and abdomen. My doctor said it wasn’t a side effect but nothing I do results in losing more than a pound or two. Now I must decide which drug to use next and I’m pretty disgusted thinking I am going to continue to be so uncomfortable. Finding this forum has validated my thinking the weight gain is a drug side effect.

The weight gain has happened to me as well. 10 lbs mostly abdomen area, I have not changed anything related to diet, etc. I’ve been on Tymlos for 10 months now, it is helping my bones but I really hate this side effect. How @gently explained it made so much sense! Doctors probably know a lot of women would not want to use Tymlos if they knew about the likelihood of weight gain. I just hope it comes off when I’m finished…
