Numbness in the hands symptoms and conditions

Wow, wish I had read this a long time ago. I have been on Vytorin 10/10 for 2+ years. Have many of the same complications as posted by others. Numbness in the hands and arms and severe joint pain in my elbows(I am not a tennis player, or anything remotely close to that) has just started to increase over the last month. Never made the connection until now. And the sleepiness!...I just feel like I could sleep all day everyday!...Now, this is one that I haven't seen in other posts, and am curious if anyone else has noticed capsule shaped things in your stool? They are almost a yellowish color and I would say about the size of a ring finger tip from the top joint to the tip of your finger? Part of me just assumed it was the Vytorin taking the cholesterol out of my system, but now I am worrying it could be something more. Any replies are appreciated, and last night, I took my last dose of Vytorin!

I dont know if it has anything to do with Topamax but i think i may be doing some weird stuff in my sleep or not sleeping as much as i think i am. i would call it cat napping. other than that, the first 2 months were horrible. i had the numbness in the hands and feet and i could never find what i wanted to say and i would stutter and feel like a dope. the doctor told me to wait it out for awhile and sure enough, the worst of the side effects went away. I still have problems finding things to say and im a bit more spacier but my seizures and my headaches and everything that was wrong is gone. Overall. its all good. I would just like to know what the heck im doing in my sleep and if its ever happened to anyone else. Maybe i should call my doctor. hah.

I have taken metoprolol for several years starting while I was serving in the army (late twenties). Now I am 37 years old. The first problem I encountered was lethargy, which forced me to cut it in half and take at different times of the day. But the worst problem by far is numbness in the hands. just holding a pen or pencil will cause fingers to go numb. I am a guitar player but that is quickly becoming an impossible task. It just recently occured to me that a drug change may reverse this- if anyone has an anecdote please contact me, thank you.
