I was on Trilipix for a few days, taking at night. Started have bad dreams and waking up thinking I was having a heart attack or stoke, real dizzy feelings, and muscle cramps in my legs. Stopped taking the med and now things are back to normal except for the high colesterol. Think that is better than the side effecks of this drug. Going back to Dr. and try something else.

I am 60 and want to do the right thing, but I have had to stop this drug out of fear of doing more harm than good. I go tot eh Dr. next week and I am not taking it again. Sore muscles, tired all the time, no energy and having to pee day and night - all stopped when I stopped taking this damn pill. I have never had such pain in my muscles before. I hope we can find a good alternative.

The only problem I have with this medication is the cost. There is no generic and my insurance does not pay very well. Three month supply is over $200.00 for the first three months because I have to meet a deductable. I have been on this for more than a year and am also taking blood pressure medicine. This is way too much for me to pay. I have asked the doctor for a generic but he was not cooperat ... Show Full Comment

I have been taking Trilipix for a little over a year and have stopped it today. There is no doubt it lowers your levels. But I have never had such muscle pain, weakness, numbness of my extremities in my life. I am in the medical field and I am very active but this has almost incapcitated me. I have also had my Gall Bladder removed since starting this drug and I never had a gall bladder attack pri ... Show Full Comment

I have also had my Gall Bladder removed since starting this drug and I never had a gall bladder attack prior to taking this drug. I have never been in the hospital for anything but child birth. This is a bad drug.

I was on Tricor for years, then my doctor was still concerned about my numbers. I tried Simvastatin but stopped taking it due to what I felt were side effects with really bad muscle pain to the point I couldn't walk or stand, which cleared up when I stopped taking it. Then my dr. put me on Trilipix. Well, I am having severe problems with an upset stomach, after I eat I am running to the bat ... Show Full Comment

I was on Tricor for years, then my doctor was still concerned about my numbers. I tried Simvastatin but stopped taking it due to what I felt were side effects with really bad muscle pain to the point I couldn't walk or stand, which cleared up when I stopped taking it. Then my dr. put me on Trilipix. Well, I am having severe problems with an upset stomach, after I eat I am running to the bathroom and I am also nauesous. I know I have a gallstone and wonder if I should have been given this drug. After reading other reviews I am going to stop taking this for a few days and see if I feel better and then will have to approach my dr. but I can't deal with feeling sick to my stomach all the time and wondering if I will be O.K. if I leave the house! I also believe it is causing darkening of my urine.
