I never thought about Vytorin being an issue until I went to the ...

My husband was put on Vytorin 40 and he started have such muscle pain and felt like he could hardly walk. I put him on RED YEAST RICE and he went for blood work that we will hear from on the 21st. BUT no more leg pain and cramps after a day free of Vytorin

Hi: I just read your post about Vytorin. I have been on it for quit awhile. First I started out on 10/20 then my doctor increased it to 10/40 and then my cardiologist wanted to raise it to 10/80 the maxium dose but my primary doctor suggested I not raise it. Then recently I saw the news about it on TV. Which scared me, so I called my primary doctor and he said stop taking it and I would see him in a month. I have stiffness, especially in my knees and other pain such as in my left shoulder, that went on for months but has eased up. I also have problems with my bladder. I have to wear Poise all the time. I just chalked it all up to getting older. Also I have trouble sleeping, and feel exhausted all the time. Just doing one little thing, like buying groceries or really anything, then I have to go to bed. I have other problems too but I just wonder how much of this is related to Vytorin. Also I have severe depression. Who wouldn't!!!! I just happened on this site by accident and was amazed at all these posts about Vytorin. I agree to that all these people should see their lawyer.
