Forteo side effects of fatigue and mild confusion

Posted by elaussies @elaussies, Sep 7, 2024

I have been taking Forteo almost a month.
I have been extremely tired. Also have experienced some confusion. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same effects and if it went away after a time?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

One week on tymlos. Fatigue is my most annoying side effect. I am taking the med in the evening and drinking lots of water. Hopefully my body will adjust. 8 years ago I took Forteo with no side effects

I took windyshores advice and take mine in the morning after hydrating with electrolytes. I then get up and move or go for a walk. I’ve had no problems. You may try this??

For me, I’m not lying there thinking about how it’s affecting me. I get moving and get my mind off of it. In fact, if I just sit down for awhile I feel worse. Bottom line try both and see what works best for “you.” But definitely hydrate. Another reason I do it in the morning-I don’t want to be up peeing!
