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.

Hi! Thank you so much for writing. I’ve never tried 5. I’ve done 4 nights of 4 and the gives me lightheaded headache and dizzy and then I fall asleep for an hour and this is all when I take the shot between 8-9 pm . I wake up nauseous in the morning for an hour. I haven’t decided when I should do the 5. I had a huge hair clump fall out when I tried fosamax for a week. But shedding is just strands/ pieces not big clump. I don’t like Tymlos either and sometimes I wish I could go back to risondronate which is actonel which I tried only two days but if you do bisphosphonate before anabolic you don’t get as good a result on anabolic. Tymlos has a lot of side effects. What time of day do you do your shots ?
