I have very high cholesterol-- over 400 when I was only 35 and weighed 110 pounds. Barely controlled for years on statins. I'm now 60. When my new doctor doubled my statin and saw no change in lipid levels, he prescribed Zetia in addition to the statin.

I have been on zetia for one week and during that time I have experienced the most severe stomach pains with diarrhea and vomiting. The reason I changed med was the statins were damaging my legs and had quite severe pain. I am at a place where I can't?t tolerate either.

After about 6 months or so of taking this drug (ezetimibe) I started experiencing constipation and brain fog. For past 4 months this has become serious depression, brain fog, memory loss, loss of appetite, constipation (leading to fissures), anxiety. I am 56, with low cholesterol and otherwise a healthy male, healthy diet, exercise, I feel I am in a mid-life crisis. Never in my life have I ever felt like this. It's effecting my entire self. After much online research I've uncovered that this drug is known to cause all of these side effects. After reading other comments on here, I now know this to be the root cause of all of these issues. I won't be taking this drug any longer. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. This was very helpful.
