So Jules, 5 mg a day for a few weks and you're the expert ?
You need to read the posts here a little closer. Some of us had aninitial dose of 1000 mg.. then anything from 30 to over 100 mg per day. There are side effects ! As one other said: we sought out the information AFTER the side effects were noted. Perhaps some are convenient like the voracious appetite (oh voracious means unstoppable just in case you needed to know.)
The point is the majority of side effects are known, are not psychosomatic (that means imaginary), and certainly NOT for you to criticize. That you had little or none you can thank a higher being. To criticize those who are suffering ... that is beyond cruel.
(I for one like the extra facial hair!!)
Fact is, so many feeling so badly can't be so wrong. There's smoke you can be sure there's fire.
BY THE WAY. To continue my tale of pred !!
I've been on 5 mgs per day since early July and nearly all of the effects have diminished. The fatty deposits are nearly gone (finally) the buffalao hump is just about gone. The sugar is better, blood pressure is down, the appetite is under control and the acne is different .. but better. Truly different than just a few weeks ago. Perhaps not as obvious to others but I certainly knew that it wasn't my face staring back at me. The old one is now back !!
There is hope !!!

Muscle enzyme test indicates Vytorin as the cause of massive fatty deposits on the backs of my thighs and arms.
Anyone else have this side effect?
