Forteo weight gain…anyone experience this?

I've never replied on a comment section before. I was extremely happy to read the other comments on Forte and weight. The literature does not emphasize but I have experienced this big time. I'm over 65 but I've always had a low weight so when I noticed how much weight I put on at least 10 # after about 2 1/2 months, primarily in the belly, I kept asking what was I doing that I put on so much weight. I wouldn't have been able to confirm this except for all your comments! Forteo absolutely causes weight gain. I've also had numerous falls and couldn't figure out why. I think this is due to the Forteo too. Once I had the beginning of a fall I could not stop the fall, if that makes sense. I just fell twice again today taking my dog for a walk. I stopped the Forteo about 1 1/2 weeks ago so I hope to reduce falls and weight gain. Thanks everyone.

I was on Forteo for 9 months. I had some side effects. Weight gain, constipation, dizzy spells, lethargy and alopecia areata.
Are you falling due to dizziness?

I’m on Tymlos and had weight gain the first several months of treatment, primarily in my belly, about 15# total. At 72 years old I’m now struggling to lose it
