Back on Lopid after being on Tricor which gave me ED problems. Tricor is generally taken once per day. Taking Lopid 30 minutes before meals is difficult but drug is very effective. I had upset stomach for a few days but it has gone away. Taking Lopid not as burdensome as I must now take Metformin twice/day for Diabetes.

Started on this med 2 weeks ago. 600 mg daily. Slight upset stomach for about 3-4 days but that has gone away. Doing well on it now. Blood test will be completed in a month or so and I am hoping for an inprovement in my Lipid profile. Started on this med because my insurance now does't cover Crestor. I will keep you posted.

I have been taking this medication for 8 weeks. Not sure how well it works as haven't had a new blood test. However, I have been experiencing nausea,indigestion and headaches. I reported this to my Doctor and he agreed that these reactions due occur. He switched me to Lovaza which he feels will not cause these side effects.
