    Insomnia or restless sleep. I am already a fibromyalgia patient with struggles with sleep, I don't need more. Less sleep = more body pain = more pain medicine.

    Had to stop fenofibrate due to muscle pain and weakness. My cholestrol was unreadable it's so high. The drug did more harm than good. Now that I'm off it, I feel better. Still on Zetia and Pravastatin. Thinking of dicontinuing those also.

    was prescribed statins which caused extreme muscle weakness and memory problems which I suffered with for three years. Doctor switched to Welchol which lowered it somewhat but not enough as statins. He added 145 mgs of finofibrate and numbers came down dramatically with no noticable side effects

    Taking the Fenofribate and Atorvastatin caused arm and neck pains, and muscle weakness. Off and on taking the meds, and noticed the pain when I took them. I stopped, and neck and arm pains are gone. Hate that it caused muscle weakness.

    I started three medications on the same day so I wasn't sure what was happening. I broke out with a rash that covered my arms ,legs back. When I looked up side effects I found the culprit. Needless to say it's in the trash,hopefully this will clear up soon
