Have you used alternative dosages for Tymlos or Forteo?

The pen has 8 "clicks." You can do any number of clicks up to 8. If you can tolerate a full dose, by all means do it. My doc was very happy that I started low and got up to 7 clicks out of 8. Tymlos has hormonal action and our bodies adjust to it. But some people can start at a full dose from the start.
Remember that doctors and pharmacists rely on what was done in studies. My doc is a top doc at a major hospital and would have been happy even with a half dose of 4 clicks versus not doing it at all.

I am going to try Tymlos because I have been reading about the 8 clicks adjustable dose but one of my doctors said that Tymlos DOES NOT HAVE adjustable dosing. From the photos on the website it looks like the same pen as Forte so I am so confused. What does the pen look like? When you order Tymlos do you have to specify the type of pen?

Thank you @windyshores. Awaiting insurance approval on Tymlos.
