Has anyone been using Tymlos?

I had nausea and headaches that lasted 1-3 hours after injecting for the first 6 months I was on Tymlos. Really hated it! But I stuck with it because my osteoporosis is severe and there was no question that I needed strong medical intervention. It has helped increase my bone density, and side effects are infrequent and much shorter-lived now.

Many people who had bad side effects when starting Tymlos either injected every other day, or else adjusted the dose of their daily injection, slowly increasing to the full dose. These strategies didn't work for me. But if you are desperate for help, try to put up with the side effects and see if they wane as the weeks go by. As for weight loss: I too, am very slim, bordering on underweight, but didn't lose further because of the Tymlos. And when my weight drops too low, I resort to milkshakes! 🙂 Also, you can only be on Tymlos for 18 months, so you can always gain weight back if you do lose.

BTW, it seemed to help me to inject after dinner, on a full stomach.

I hope all goes well. I wouldn’t mind losing 10
Pounds !

I used Tymlos for 2 years without any negative side effects, no nausea no dizziness, no pain. I was so nervous the first times I injected myself, but had no issues. I did follow for the first week the advice to sit still for about 5 minutes after injecting because I heard that might prevent dizziness,. After the first weeks I just got up and had no problems Everyone's body is different but I hope whatyou choose works for you.

That’s so wonderful to hear you have no bad side effects. I am about to start tymlos and I am a slender woman so I hope I don’t get side effects. Can’t afford to loose any weight.

I'm on Tymlos with with no issue, but I'm not petite nor do I have any medical background. Scan the comments as a few women have reduced their dosage and are much happier. Best wishes, Sarah

I was on Tymlos for over a year and I wanted to stay on it. I had no side effects and no change in my weight. Now I am on Evenity and the injections are painful when given to me. It's 2 injections on the same day once a month. Now I have more pain in my bones with Evenity.

Thank you 🙂
