How long does it take for Tymlos side effects to subside?

Yes while I know it’s not good for you. I switched to evening shots in order to sit and not lie down through the side effects. I am now keeping to about 8 pm. I feel like the dizziness/ headache is hard enough at 4 clicks but maybe I could handle 5. Also I wake up feeling nauseous both in the night and at wake up I think it’s an affected my appetite so that I just don’t care about food much now. I also think it’s affected my mood but who knows about that.
I don’t know when to try 5. I guess I could try tonight idk what to do or when

Hi, cloud 60-- If it's any comfort or help to you, I can't get beyond a 4 right now-- and I'm approaching the 3-month mark. I try 5 every once in a while, and it's just too much. Plus, my hair is falling out, which is inducing a lot of anxiety. (My doctor, who I really like, says this is hair "shedding" not hair "loss". Welcome to the world of semantics.) Anyway, who knows if I can ever get beyond a 4 or if it will even turn out to be a therapeutic dose for me. (I'm very small.) There's not a day that goes by that I think, "This isn't for me." And then I give myself the shot.

Don't push to 5 if you don't feel ready.
The reason I switched to morning (when I restarted, so aside from heart issues) is that I woke up with headache and nausea. Side effects for me were better in the morning. I wonder if being more active moves it through the system or something???!!!! At any rate, regardless of timing, I feel better if I get up and go out even with dizziness or weakness or whatever, than I do staying in bed. But everyone is different. Also your body will adjust....so maybe give it a few days at 4 clicks. I believe even that half dose helps- my doc preferred 6 but told me half is better than none.
