Forteo: Probably not the cause of your symptoms. No harm will happen if you don't take Forteo for two weeks. If still in trouble don't re-start Forteo but do see your doctor.

Not likely : Hot flashes are not known as a side effect of Forteo, so it is unlikely that your symptoms are resulting from the medication.
