Have been on Vytorin for about 4 months and am having some of the same symptoms (thigh throbbing and leg/feet cramps) in addition to a higher blood glucose level which makes me feel light headed and just not well. Have appointment with my internest in a couple weeks and wonder if she will take me off of this med.
