Can you explain what you meant when you said you “started at 2 clicks and have been on 6 clicks”? Were you referring to the Tymlos dosage? When I received my pen, it was labeled as 80 mcg, so I’m not sure how the clicks relate to the dose. Do you decide the number of clicks, or does the doctor? I just started Tymlos and have been having some unusual symptoms, so I’m considering asking my doctor if I can begin with a much lower dose. But I dont know how much is the lowest?
Thank you for sharing

I started with the full dose (8 clicks), and had fatigue. After a few months I also had muscle weakness. I finally had to cut back on work, so my doctor said take a Tymlos break for 2 weeks and see if it improves. I felt better. I decided to go back on at 6 clicks, with no side effects. The doctor said ok. 2 years later, my DEXA improved from -3.6 to -3.0 in my lumbar spine. I do recommend trying to eventually go to 7 or 8 clicks if you have been on the 6 and symptom free for awhile which I didn't do but I wish I had.

6 clicks would be 60 mcg
