Hello. I took the full doses of Tymlos for a month, but had to stop because of the side effects. Two weeks ago, I began taking 40, and 4 days ago increase to 50.

Good evening @saigra. Welcome to Connect and one of the busiest and friendliest support groups, Osteoporosis. Based on your first post, it appears you are struggling with side effects. I am wondering if you know about the "click" pen that comes with Tymlos. It permits you to choose the number of clicks you can handle and then work up as slowly as is necessary. I did have Tymlos for two years without side effects. It worked well and the results were worth the effort.

However, the "click" option was not available when I was introduced to Tymlos. I am wondering if @windyshores might be able to step over here and say hello. She is just finishing two years of Tymlos with the pen click feature. I believe she was able to modify her number of clicks as was necessary.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
