All the bad side effects hit me at once. I realize this stuff works for some people, but I never felt so bad in my life after just 3 days. You name it, it hurt! Could not sit down without pain, yes, that bad. Felt awful all of the time. Diarheah, gas, flatuation, really no energy at all. Tired. Thought I was going to die.

I have been on this med for about 6 weeks. I've experienced sluggishness, headaches, dizziness, floating. I'm not on any other cholesterol meds but Gemfi. I was on Tricor(Fenofibrate), but new Insuraance put a stop to that. Never had a problem on Feno for 9 years. My mother is a retired nurse pract. and has her own cholesterol issues. She is now on a natural cholesterol-lowering recipe: 64 fl. oz. welch's grape juice (No Sugar), 48 fl. oz. apple juice(No Sugar), 1 cup pure, raw honey, 1 cup apple cider vinegar. Mix thoroughly in 1 gallon jug. It has naturally lowered her levels with no side effects. I've tried this for a few days now and I do feel better. It's just an alternative that most Doc's will probably argue against. Since there won't be any kickbacks from Welch's!

As compared to other drugs that were tried first such as zocor and like drugs which caused my skin to feel like it was on fire where as gemfibrozil has caused little side effects, just flushing at night is all which isn't fun but compared to the burning skin from the other drugs, it is liveable

I have taken this for at least 10 years for Triglycerides. It controls the condition but have anemia now and taking iron infusions. I am also going to have to change this to another drug because of Plan D limitations.I now also have gout on occasions and am wondering what else would be a good alternative? lso, should I continue taking this in spite of the plan D limitations??
