Healthy 46 year old male with total cholesterol 250 and 4.5 ratio started vytorin at a VERY small dose (broke 10mg tablet into 4 tiny fragments to approximate 2.5mg/day) and have been having horrible muscle pains in my legs since the day I started. Now, after 4 days I am quitting the drug and hoping to find another way. I have run 13 marathons in my life and my legs feel worse than they did after I ran one of them. I can't believe my doctor didn't advise me of this.
Oldcarpetcleaner - A cholesterol count of 250 in a 46 yr male is perfect.
A cholesterol count of 350 in a 66 yr female is perfect.
CHOLESTEROL IS NOT CANCER, mothers milk is full of cholesterol.
Secondchance - I am so happy for you that you quit this drug. I don't think anyone should be taking it to be honest. My husband took it last year for approximately 5 months and it triggered a major depression. He became suicidal and almost ended his life. He is taking Lovaza now to help with his cholesterol. A friend of mine also takes fish oils and it reduced his cholesterol tremendously. I hope that you will try to reduce your cholesterol with diet and exercise rather than these evil drugs.
