@bharris202 Thanks so much for your response & reassurance. My metabolic bone specialist said the dosage could not be adjusted lower to start, but the posts have given me the confidence to give it a try. Thanks so much!!!!!!!

@lisaberkowitz You bet! Mine said the same thing. It’s not like you want to take/stay on a minimal dose forever…you’ll work your way up. They (doctors) just need to show some grace to patients. I also recommend hydrating really well. I’ve seen lots of concerns about headaches, dizziness, and low blood pressure. If you had those issues without Tymlos, I think it might be related to blood pressure which often can be overcome by proper hydration. It can’t hurt to hydrate more as you start Tymlos to see if that will offset some side effects. You’ve got this!!
