Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "Just started first injection today. Nurse came to my house and showed me how to inject. She left around 20 minutes after injection. Almost immediately I started hurting extremely bad in my lower back. I took 2 Tylenol and after close to 2 hours later I am feeling almost normal. As much as I don’t want Osteoporosis I don’t think I can continue this drug."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I have been on Tymlos for 5 months. I noticed after the first few injections a pressure sensation at the top of my spine which has continued to get worse. It starts about 3 minutes after injecting the medicine. I have severe osteoporosis and have tried very hard to deal with side effects. They now include severe headache with nausea and vomiting. Since I have had Menieres Disease for many years, I thought at first that was the problem, so I started a log of what was happening. It seems to be similar to the vertigo of Menieres but it is different. My quality of life has deteriorated simply because of this medication. Yesterday was the last dose I am going to take. The migraine like headache and severe dizziness and vomiting are just too much to deal with on a daily basis."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I was on Tymlos for 3 months with the normal heart racing heavy chest side effects but the side effect that made me discontinue the drug was I woke up one morning after taking it for 3 months with severe back pain that I had not experienced before. The pain has continued for 2 months now. I have had some confirmed back problems for the last 5 years but after much physical therapy and daily exercise, I have been pain free for at least 3 years and then this suddenly happed basically while I was sleeping. I had an MRI done and my back condition had not worsened on MRI so my spine dr and endocrinologist both said to quit Tymlos. I am getting ready to start on Evenity. I hope I have better luck with that."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I am on my second pen. I have experienced the palpitations, nausea, and headache, which is tolerable. But, I have the bone pain others mentioned. The pain occurs randomly, and in different areas, ankle, hip, legs, etc. I too had an episode of back pain, I thought I fractured my spine, but it resolved in 24 hours. I also notice that the first void after injecting, is cloudy. Has anyone experienced that? Also, each injection burns, has anyone else experienced that?"

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I am about to start my third pen. The first three days, I had palpitations, back spasms, and headaches. Someone told me to drink a lot of water, especially before and after the injection. After that, except for one day, I have had no major side effects. I do think there's some extra joint pain with this medication, but nothing that would be enough for me to stop it. I have had several spinal fractures (with kyphoplasty in 6), and my Dexa score in my spine is -3.5. So it is crucial that I continue and not stop. However, I am concerned about what relay drug I will have to take after this."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I am starting my 5th pen and I have also experienced some side effects. They come and go, the very first injection caused terrible nausea about an hour after injection. I then started with the rapid heartbeats, head rush, and slight nausea. I have experimented with doing the injection at different times of the day and have found that I feel much better doing it in the evening after taking a bath and before getting to bed. I am pretty active and found that most of the side effects have tampered off when I am at a relaxed state. I still get a rapid heartbeat for about 10-20 minutes but not as bad as before. In the past two months, I am experiencing little zapping body aches in all different areas of my body. They are not horrible but I do feel them - it's a strange feeling. I just turned 53, and my dexa was -3.3, so I was recommended to start this medication. I was also switched to a different thyroid medication, so I am hoping to see positive results."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "Just started. Full dose 2nd day. Immediately after injection, intense lower back pain. Followed by racing heart followed by headache. Can't imagine keeping this up. Haven't decided if I will skip a day or cut dose in half or both, but if I can't get these issues to resolve, then I will be done with tymlos."

All I wanted to do is sleep it has also caused wheezing when I was on for 3 days in a row then off every other day the wheezing and breathing got better.

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "The customer service from this company is appalling. Messages are left without return phone calls. My follow up dexa scan is scheduled for the beginning of April to determine if I will be able to have my fusion surgery. I have been out of medication since Wednesday with no hope that I will be able to obtain medication for another two weeks."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "Two months on Tymlos, switching to Forteo soon. Within 10 minutes of injecting Tymlos (before bed), heart rate increases about 25 bpm. Heart rate goes back down within 30 minutes or less. Only other symptom is my cheeks have gotten very red and warm. So much so, that friends and family comment. Hope these two things go away when I start Forteo."

For Osteoporosis "This medicine gave me horrible side effects, high blood pressure, heart palpitations after the 1st dose. Felt like a sword going through my back radiating through my body. I'm 28 hours into it and will never do it again. I asked about heart palpitations and blood pressure and was told they were not in the side effects."

Tymlos (abaloparatide) for Osteoporosis "I'm 55 years old with a family history of osteoporosis. I recently found out I too have significant bone loss. I took my first dose of Tymlos today. While I did feel a dull backache and headache, that was about it. The injection was easy and pretty painless. I hope the rest of my injections go as well. I was given a month's supply by the doctor. Having a hard time getting pre-authorization to go through for insurance. They need more info, so hopefully I will be able to continue to take it."
