After 1 year on Tymlos only a slight DECREASE in BMD. Please help.

I’m planning on getting my dexascan after a year on tymlos and may take a break, depending on my results.
Thinking if I am tired of the side effects I could take a break ( take half-dose of Reclast) then do another year later.
Assuming my pcp will go along with this plan, which I think he will. I’m a retired nurse and am sensitive to drugs- developed an allergic reaction to Evenity after 8 months and had to stop, unfortunately.

@leslie2121 Be sure to talk to your doc thoroughly about your plan to go from Tymlos to Reclast and back to Tymlos. My limited understanding of this is that Reclast will actually stay in your system for an extended time, even up to 10 years. If that is the case, your second round of Tymlos may likely be very suppressed, due to the anti-resorptive interference from Reclast. That is why the order of the drugs is so critical. Please do your homework with this in order to protect yourself. Best wishes!
