My doctor has suggested that I switch from "TRICOR" TO "ANTARA" I have noticed no improvements at all, after taking a Lab Test by the end of 4 months of use.

I've taken Antara for about a month, and I'm experiencing extreme fatigue and some muscle pain. Starting drinking diet colas just to stay awake at work in the daytime. Am going to stop the med for a week and see if the symptoms subside. Can't function well when I'm sleepy all the time.

I have been using Antara for 1 1/2 months now. Can't get the blood test 'til next month. They cover my $10/month co-pay. The Pharmacist gave me their information. It's covered for a year. The only problem I've had is some weird (like hot flashes) from it. I can tolerate it though.

I found myself to be extremely exhaused and unfocused while on this medication. Napped early evening almost daily - sometimes slept instead of having dinner. Sleep broken into two 5 hr segments daily. Coul dnot get up for work on time. Stopped 1 week ago and finally feeling better. Triglcerides after 60 days of use unchanged - still high.

Have been on Antara for 18 months and this is the first drug that really has helped me. The only negative is the price, $50 with insurance. Will be looking for an alternate really soon.

I have questions about this medication. Is it a statin drug? My son seems more forgetful than usual whilr taking statins.
