I'm 44 and have taken Vytorin for several months. Having a lot of the symptoms listed. Has anyone had a problem with the heart skipping beats? I took myself off the stuff yesterday and already I feel a lot better - not great yet but I'm hoping thats to come.

Yes, I notice my heart flutters. I have mitral valve prolapse, but the fluttering seems worse on Vytorin. I have many of the other side effects like flu like symptoms, headache, aches and pains, can't sleep and anxiety. I am 56 and have been on Vytorin for 16 months. I had the doctor cut the dose down to 10/20 from 10/40 but it hasn't helped. I haven't taken any for 5 days and have already noticed that I don't have the flutter. My husband takes the same dose. Duh! He weighs 50 lbs. more than me...how could that be the right dose for me. I'm headed to the health food store. These posts have really made me think it is the Vytorin.
