I only had the one side effect with Lipitor and many with Vytorin and it seems with the same results. Except the rise in TRI levels to better than double to 180 is a real problem, cause diabetis is a real problem in the family history. If at the next test the TRI levels are still a problem I will switsh back to Lipitor.

It does affect digestion and can result in some flatulance.I do feel somewhat lower energy, muscle aches, and have trouble sleeping most nights.Exercise and staying active helps with depression and irratibility.

At first it was a miracle, my cholesterol went from 200 to 142 and stayed steady. Over the course of the next year I developed blisters on my arms and shoulders that were large,itchy, crater-like and bled frequently.Abdominal pain,strong smelling flatulence, uncontrollable bowel problems. No libido, depression,and swelling of my legs and feet. Neuropathy of both feet.And,totop it off, 2 doctors told me it was stress. I have stopped the vytorin 10/20 1 month ago, abdominal pain and all the rest is gone, the arm sores are healing, I am waiting to see how things go. What scares me is the doctor has already suggested another statin for me to take...Should I or sould I wit?
