Been taking VYTORIN FOR A YEAR LEVELS HAVE CAME DOWN BUT NOW EXPERIENCING SEVERE PAIN IN HIP AND SHOULDER JUST CAME ON SUDDENLY WENT FOR XRAYS DR COULDNT FIND ANYTHING .IM TAKING MYSELF OFF THIS MEDS NOT WORTH THE PAIN

I have been on this drug for 2 years and it has lowered my LDL and raised my HDL effectively. I have had no noticeable side effects.

I am a 60 years old male, I took this drug for two weeks for high cholesterol I had pain in my arms also I got crawl like feeling in my legs, and the worse case of insomia.

I have taken this drug for six years with no side effects. It has done a great job of lowering my cholesterol fron 225 to 98 (total cholesterol). My HDL is 62 LDL 36. I am totally satisfied with Vytorin.

I have gain considerable weight from taking this medication, am listless, and have muscle cramps almost daily. I also have swelling in the neck and brown itching splotches on my skin and considerable dryness on my facial skin..I feel like a slug and depressed over weight gain..I started at 135 and am 190 for the very first time in my life..after 4 kids..ugh

I have been on Vytorin 10/40 2/3years now. It has worked very well for me lowering my LDL to below 70. However the last few weeks I have been fatigued more than normal a week ago statred to have knee problem, which was getting worst and pain radiated up leg to hip. Then opposite knee started in a simular way.. Went off vytorin after 2 days pain in knees gone. after a week actually felt much better fatigue wise. remarking to wife today how much better I feel. Will try vytorin again and see if have the same problem,keep you postedRead More Read Less

I've been using vytorin 10-80 more than 2 years I feel OK. my shouldier pain bothering me for long time and it still bothers me. I think taking high dosage may have have shomething to do with it.

The medicine has been extremely effective for me. The only issue is that Anthem Blue Shield will not pay.

I have no energy. I am now loosing all my nails. My liver enzymes are higher. My HDL are high along with my LDL's. Something that was the same years ago, but at a lower level. My dr won't do anything for me until my liver levels arise better. My nails are falling off, I am tired,I have dirreahea, and nothing is getting better. I will not continue on this medication anymore.

terrible muscle aches and cramps from the waist down including sensitive skin to the touch.

I am now suffering sweats like you wouldn't believe, memory loos, tiredness, aching all over and depressed. Sorry I won't be using this any more. Quality of life is more important. This drug has made me feel totally meserable

I have been on vytorin 10/40 for almost 1 year and my levels have been very good but lately I have been experiencing lower back pain and very very tired and also elevated liver count.I didn't take it for 2 days and i felt great, started it again 2 days ago and all the lower back pain and severe tiredness is back. I am calling my Doctor and I will not take another one, ever again, there has to be another way.

bad muscle pain and heartburn achy all over

After taking this medication for about a year, I developed extreme muscle weakness. I ended up losing control of my legs... I was put in a wheelchair....at this point, Dr. took me off the drug (a bit late though)and now I have some strength back...I have graduated to a walker..this drug can be extremely dangerous if not closely monitored....look for an alternative

I have severe muscle or nerve pain in my legs. After taking tests to check my muscle, the doctor doing the test said it was neurapathy due to statins. I have not taken any statins for several months. At first my leg pain got much better but now I have a balance problem and think it is due to the statin drugs. I had taken several others before vytorin but they all affected my legs. Am going to have an MRI April 19 of my lower back. I am taking Lovaza but am sure my cholesterol and triglyderides will be off the chart when I have my next blood test. Just what damage do statins do to muscles and nerves.Read More Read Less

I have been on vytorin for 3 years. I dont feel its working for me and my memory loss is getting really bad. I have decided to stop taken this and see what happens.

this med works pretty good for me,buti amconcerned since ihave kidney impairment

I've been taking this drug for about one year....I've been achy, really achy...and couldn't figure out what was going on... I stopped one week ago. My body feels better, but coordination is totally messed up. How long will it take for this medication to be out of my system? I have a job that required heavy problem solving...and now I'm screwed.

I have been on Vytorin 10-40 for several years. It has worked great on my cholesterol but the muscle aches is getting worse. I know it must be this medication because, I stopped taking it for a month and the aches in my back stopped. Now I'm back on it and the aches has started again. I don't know which is worse to have high cholesterol and maybe die of a heart attack or live a little longer aching with muscle discomfort. I also tried Crestor with the same effects, well maybe worse.
