I have only been taking this med for about a month. I have found that I am extremely tired and have a lot of pain in my right shoulder. This may be from other problems, but I am not sure. I will try for a little longer-probably 3 months and then have my cholesterol checked along with the liver function test. Based on those findings, I will make a decision about furhter treatment.

My doctor prescribed Vytorin for my high cholestorol. I received minimal side effects from this drug. I was paying $5.35 co-pay for this. Then my doctor switched me over to Lovastatin so I wouldn't have any co-pay for this. Everything went well for the first two months. Then I begam to experience muscle weakness and pain in both my legs. I comtinued to take this drug figuring it was just my arthritis acting up. After several more weeks, I had difficulty getting up from a seated position. I had severe muscular weakness and pain. Then I heard an ad for another drug similar to this one. One of the side effects were unexplained muscle weakness or pain. I put two and two together and knew right away it was Lovastatin. I stopped taking this garbage drug and went back on Vytorin which I still had some refills for. I never told my doctor because I never see him. I see his nurse practitioner. I will eventually have to tell his people what this horrible drug did to me. I still have difficulty with standing up and walking. Anyone taking this drug should be aware of the debilitating side effects!!! I found out the hard way. Don't take this trash unless you want to have problems!!!
