I started on the daily injections in May and haven't been able to get up to the full dosage yet. The full dosage is 80 mcg. I'm at less than half that. If I go up the the half dose of 40 mcg I get back spasms, bad headache, and nausea, so I dial it back a notch. I've had one discussion with the doctor and she told me to gradually increase the dosage each week until I can tolerate the full dose.

Members shared helpful perspectives on managing Tymlos injections, with one person describing severe back spasms that worsened over time and led them to switch medications after their doctor discontinued Tymlos. Another member suggested taking the injection at night to reduce side effects, a timing adjustment that helped them tolerate the medication better. Throughout the conversation, members expressed relief at not being alone in their struggles and offered prayers and encouragement as they navigated different osteoporosis treatment options.

I was on Tymlos was a while and I had the the same thing you are describing with the back spasms. It got so bad at times I was having a difficult time getting around. I had my Dr. discontinue the drug and we are going to start a different one. I’m sure glad to here that someone else was having problems with drug, I thought I was going cray. They say this is not a side effect but I do believe it is on certain people. Tymlos has now sent me a letter asking for information on my experience. Please talk with your Dr. there are other medications out there. I’m also 61 and I do not want to live a life in any more pain than I already do. Hope this helps in some way. Good luck. Have a wonderful day.

I wish you the best possible results with Prolia. My sister was on that and had no bad side effects.
