Dosage Adjustments On Tymlos Pen

@diane0202 as you turn the end of the pen, the pen actually makes little clicking noises every 10mcg. The pen doesn't have any window showing dose. Full dose is 8 clicks of the pen, or 80mcg.
I don't think you get much at all with once click. I started with two but understand if people are nervous, starting with one is reassuring. It may not be necessary to wait a whole week between dose changes at first but after I got to a half dose, I did slow down my ramping up.
I believe therapeutic levels start at 4 clicks. Or so my doc said. As I wrote before, there WILL be some side effects for many but for many of us they fade in time.

Hi I started Tymlos today I used 4 clicks because I am a small person and want to step into possible side effects slowly. I dis have Hr of 106 and pain over my sacrum for maybe 10 min other than that I was really tired later on in the day...anyone have this? I would rather dose at bedtime could I do another 4 clicks tonight to change over???
I just started Tymlos a week ago and this is the first I've heard of adjusting the dose with "clicks" on the pen. Are there any instructions from Tymlos?

Have you had a positive response in terms of DEXA score gains? Are you still on it? What are you planning on taking to maintain the gains you have made on Tymlos? Do you know how long you have to stay on the secondary treatment, for example alendronate? Thank you! I am so afraid of taking the drugs, but equally afraid what will happen if I don't do anything except exercise, diet and supplements. My spine DEXA is -3.6 and I am 67 years old.
