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

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 ?

I was on Actonel for a little over a year, but some of my numbers got worse; that's why I'm on Tymlos now. I could tolerate Actonel (mostly), but it wasn't working. I take the shot in the evening. I've settled on this after going back and forth from morning to evening. The reason I do it at night is that I get those awful heart palpitations from the shot. The Tymlos nurse (you can get assigned one from the Tymlos website) recommended that I lie down and elevate my legs to lessen the effect. It absolutely works. So, I figured if I was going to be lying down, it might as well be in the evening. It has turned my shot, which takes seconds, into a "thing" that can last 30 minutes. I don't feel any side effects by morning.
