I was on Tymlos for about five months. Then, our insurance changed and would no longer support it, so I eventually (after about six weeks of no med) was placed on generic Forteo (which the new insurance company does pay for). I have had little to no side effects from either!

When first on Tymlos, I did notice some light headedness and heart racing in the first hour or so after injecting. That eventually went away. I did hydrate with some zero sugar gatoraide to try to combat that—and it seemed to help. I inject before bed. Later on with Tymlos I did feel like once in a while I would experience sharp and fleeting pain in my legs or feet once in a while. But I’m not sure that was Tymlos. Once in a while with the generic Forteo, if I am up doing things after injecting, I will have momentary light headedness. But it is very momentary. I have been on the generic Forteo for about seven months now.

I am very grateful to have these meds! I hope all works well for you!
