@laurapearl, Hey there.....thanks for your post. I do remember that there was discussion about cutting the dosage in half. Although I figured that you could do it....I did not know if your endocrinologist would approve. I was able to talk to the manufacturer when I needed my Rx refilled. Let me see if I can float the dosage issue again this week.

Be safe and protected.

thanks, that would be great. very interested to hear the response. and you're right -- like you, i suspected that my doctor would have disapproved if i asked her first. how could she approve, after all? almost no doctor is going to say yes if you ask them point-blank if you can alter the dosage of your drug in a non-evidenced based way. now, in retrospect, however, my very small experiment of n = 1 🙂 seems at least to suggest that small body size + exaggerated side effects may indicate that a reduced dosage of tymlos can be effective. if for some reason, i had been unable to try a reduced dosage, i would have just stopped the drug.
