does this medication cause ankle swelling? Published: November 20, 2007 ::

this has been a good drug but I am concerned about the side effect of it.. my arm has really been hurting and wondering if it could be this Published: January 26, 2008 ::

biggest problem is muscle pain, leg cramps and severe pain in feet unable to walk very far abd have to stand quite a lenght of time until i am able to walk Published: March 17, 2008 ::

Although my cholestrol levels were lowered (lowest readings of my life) the side effects were horrible, muscle pain, profound weakness, mental "fog". I stopped the meds about 4mths ago, the pain and "fog" are gone but the weakness in my legs continues, though is starting to improve slightly. It wasn't till I was almost housebound by the side effects that my doctor suggested stopping the meds. Needless to say I am looking for a new doctor. Published: December 03, 2008 ::

I have been having feelings of weakness in my legs as if they will crumble on me at any time. Also feel like I am in a fog. I have some pain on & off all over. Also stabbing pain in feet & cause leg to jump. Published: November 15, 2008 ::

worked extremely well in bringing down hdl and ldl counts, to good in fact. After three years, came down with two different cancers in 10 months, skin cancer on the face, and leukemia. Stopped the vytorin. Published: October 03, 2008 ::

Like the previous posts, lots of pain in legs and arms. I have found out if you take it in the morning you won't wake up trying to get out of bed cause your joints hurt. Still by the end of the day, it feels like I just got done running a marathon. I'm hoping to find something else. Published: April 25, 2008 ::

Treatment has been successful, but I saw on the national news that the component(Zetia) may cause cancer, so I stopped taking vytorin. What is your opinion? Published: October 20, 2008 ::

Vytorin was able to get me to my goal! FDA posted a new update in January stating that Zetia is safe and other reports were not statistically accurate to report cases of cancer. I think it is Dr. Nissen trying to ruin Merck's reputation because of past conflicts of interest. I am glad there are newer drugs that don't give you the aching and soreness that a higher dose cholesterol agent may give you. Published: March 08, 2009 ::

Looking for what side effects there are Published: January 23, 2009 ::

I have been taking this med for over 2 years now. It has helped lower my bad and rise my good cholesterol. The only drawback is that it is very expensive. Can't wait for it to go generic. Published: October 02, 2008 ::

Its effective for me, don't feel anyting bad and my legs feel good. Published: May 07, 2009 ::

I have gone far with my Vytorin. Liptor didn't work, so doctors put me on Vytorin. Although I have muscle pain sometimes, it works for me. Published: April 28, 2009 ::

i have had great luck with this drug and no side effects. Published: December 05, 2008 ::

I am only 22 years old and I have had high cholesterol my entire life. I was finally put on vytorin to see if medication will help. My cholesterol went from 260 to 164 in about 9 weeks. I have not noticed any side effects at all. Published: October 01, 2008 ::
