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

Posted by rhondat1964 @rhondat1964, Jun 12, 2023

I’ve been in Tymlos for two months now and have bone pain, dizziness and just overall aches and pains. Does this get better?

It gives me a bad headache and alot of nausea. I switched it to night after dinner and it helped. It lasts about 5 hours.

My unsciencetific reading is the more petite you are the more you need to reduce the dosage. Once upon a time I was 5'9" and 145# and mentally I haven't change size at all. So I take the full dosage and have no problem. However, the little peers do have trouble and many are starting to follow the bright women who have reduced their dosage by simply not clicking up to full dosage, but starting at 2 or 3 clicks. So do read what others are doing, declare you ownership of your body, and so what makes sense to you. Sarah

I woukd be willing to try Evenity if I could take only half dose. (It comes in 2 syringes for each monthly injection.) When having a CT scan yesterday, I asked if weight was considered for contrast. It is in a very broad way. The dosage is adjusted for BP medicine based on an individual''s needs. But not for osteoporosis medication.

I agree because I am very sensitive to medications. I also have alot of allergies. I am going to talk to my Dr. and see about decreasing the dosage. Problem is my numbers are extremely low.

I am a small framed girl and very sensitive to medications. I am going to ask her if I can decrease the dosage. My numbwrs are extremely low so not sure what she will do.
