With Zetia I had stomach pain pancreitis dizziness and low energy Published: September 20, 2007 ::

I have a big problem now with the calf muscles of my legs and my doctor suggests that I stop taking Zetia for awhile to see if this is my problem. I have been on Zetia for the past 6 years and I never heard of it giving leg problems like this. Please let me know if possible if you have any complaints like this.I hurt very badly. On a scale of 1-10, this is a 9. Please answer me soon if you can. Published: October 26, 2007 ::

I had terrible muscle pain and weakness, especially in my legs. Could hardly walk or stand for more than a couple of minutes. Pain stopped the same day that I stopped using the Zetia. Published: October 14, 2007 ::

MY TOTAL CHOLESTEROL WAS 252 AND MY LDL 179. AFTER TAKING ZETIA,FOR SOME TIME, MY TOTAL CHOLESTEROL DROPPED TO 176 AND MY LDL WENT TO 114. NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS ARE NOTICED AFTER THREE MONTHS OF USE. Published: November 21, 2007 ::

If you remember the last time you had the bad flu. where every part of your body ached,from your hair roots to your toe nails.Thats Zetia Published: September 27, 2007 ::

I started taking Zetia two months ago because I had to stop taking Zocor , because my liver was not good!This Zetia was awful!! I had joint pain, muscle aches,Dizziness!,DEPRESSION !!!,stomach pain, and feeling very tired-- all the time. I became very alarmed when I found on my e-mac , information Data about Zetia risks was not fully revealed.12-21-07 New York Times. And now more data,12-12-07 New York Times;Trial of Cholesterol Drug Gets House Scrutiny! It seems a Congressional committee is investigating MERCK and Schering-Plough for their handling of a critical clinical trial of Zetia,their blockbuster Cholesterol-lowering drug. etc. Again, the DRUG companies , it seems, are not telling the truth to our doctors, and their patients. This has to CHANGED! Published: January 09, 2008 ::

I don't know yet if my cholesterol is down yet as I have only been on Zetia for 2 weeks but my body hurts, muscles, back, joints, along with terrible gas and bloating. I have no energy. I have been a runner for 18 years and cannot find the energy to run. I also work out twice a week. My son commented on the fact that I was breathing so hard just climbing the stairs at home. I am not overweight and am in pretty good shape but I think I'm giving up on all the cholesterol medications. Tried Liptor (felt terrible), Zocor (did not lower below 200), Vytorin lowered everything but bones hurt badly. Welchol (terrible gas and bloating). Quality vs. Quantity?

I am taking Zetia & some other RX's and have had very excessive gas and bloating. I had stopped each RX individually for a while and found that the only relief I got (from gas) was when I stopped Zetia. But my cholesterol went from low 200's back to 250. I went back on Zetia, gas problem returned within 2 days. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a way to take Zetia or any other RX and not get gas problems? Pls. respond. Thanks.

I have tried lipitor, zocor, leschol, all cause extreme muscle cramping. Zetia doesn't, so I have stayed on it longer; however, I am experiencing low iron and ferritin levels, is it possible that the zetia as it blocks absorption of cholesterol also blocks iron? I am extremely tired all the time, my LDL came down but I also take Omacor (Omega 3 fatty acid) with it. I would love to hear from others. Published: December 09, 2007 ::
