After five days had dizziness and disorientation to the degree that I had to go down the stairs on my can, one step at a time. When I tried to put on a shoe I roll completely out of the chair and onto the floor and then could not figure out where I was. I have had two TIA's (mini-strokes) and thought I was having another. Have had muscle twitching in my calves and cannot get an erection. Tod ... Show Full Comment

Have had muscle twitching in my calves and cannot get an erection. Today was my last pill. I am allergic to all statins with extreme muscle pain and weakness

I was taking this medication for a couple of weeks and I started noticing that it is affecting my erection. I also notice that I am having itching and very dry skin. I told my doctor about it and he said that the medication has no side effects. I stopped using it anyway and my itches are gone and my erection is back to normal. Please do not take this medicine. It will ruin your life.....

My last blood test showed high triglycerides and Hdl. I was already taking 40mg of Zocor. My doctor increased the Zocor to 80mg and added Trilipix. I have sever stomach cramps and waking up during the night sweating. This happened for the 2 days I took The Trilipix. Stopped last night no stomach cramps and slept like a baby.

I started trilipix 3 wks ago, started with elevated blood pressure (dangeriously high)this week, saw the dr, and put on more blood pressure meds. I have tried I believe just about every drug to lower the cholestrol on the market this one was pretty new so gave it a try. Read several other reviews and the side effects late last night and called the drs office and told them I am not going to take this anymore, lets see if my bp will come down. Sometimes I just wonder if the meds are worth all the side effects. At this point I have stopped exercising and even taking a walk as it increased the bp so much. I will continue to eat my almonds or walnuts daily which I was told will help lower cholestrol and will hopefully be able to get back to excercising. I have about 10 more lbs to take off to reach my goal and think that will also help. I find myself concerned about all the side effects not only with this drug but so many others. I hope that the muscle aches, headache, nausea, elevated bp and whatever else will stop once this drug is out of my system. Good luck to everyone taking this.
