I took it for three years. It worked but what a cost! It sucked all the joy out of my life. I began to see immediate relief from depression within weeks of changing my medication .

While taking Antara I've become very sleepy, requiring two naps per day. Also, a feeling of weekness, and not wanting to do anything. I've not taken it for three days and I'm back to normal.

I could not tolerate statins, zetia, or red yeast rice. Antara has not caused muscle pain or muscle weakness after one month of use. Won't know if it's effective in reducing LDL cholesterol until next blood test in another month, but I'll add that info at that time.

I have tried many of these type drugs and did not have the problems of muscle pain as bad as with Lipitor or Zetia. Thumbs up except for the stroke I had when my pharmacist told me it was $45.68 w/ BC/BS Insurance!!
