Comment:
I've been on Tricor for 2 months now. No leg cramps, nightmares or loss of sex drive. I do have to urinate about 3 times before I can fall asleep. My Tri's were 1,200 2 months ago. I've been a little tired, but I've been walking 2 miles a day and have lost 16 pounds. I've also changed my diet drastically. I'm really looking forward to see my next blood work results. Hopeful

Took for only a week, 145 mg to lower tris from 436 and had flu like symptoms. Stopped taking with the approval of my dr. Have not had blood test done. Doubt if a week would help much.

Comment:
I have taken Tricor for 6 months. My tri's went from 400 to 133 but it was attacking me knees. So I went to every other day, adding ginger root & MSM anti-inflammatories. Tri's climbed back to 200 but doc was happy with that & no more joint pain. He sees me in 1 year,he is happy with results

Comment:
Tricor reduced my levels from 760 to 220 within 3 weeks, Along with a proper diet. However, I did notice that my sex drive went from high, to rather non existent after being on the drug for only a short period of time.
