All this talk of HAIR LOSS, POSSIBLE GALL STONES, ANEMIA etc. is ...

I AM be afraid of this drug-I keep trying it and I keep having terrible side effects. I told my doctor I will not take it any longer.
I went back on Welchol in Aug because my Doctor said my LDL needed to be improved. I started back on it Aug 1st-by Sept 15th or so-I started with the horrible muscle pains. I had the hair loss and finally realized it coule be from the Welchol. I had Severe muscle pains, I have been exhausted and could not fuction normally,
Had to lay down and sleep because of the exhaustion.
I made an appointment with my Dr and she took 4 vials of bllod-my liver, thryoid, glucose, hemoglobin, Hepatitis B and C
Everything but my hemoglobin was normal.
I am ANEMIC and have to go to a gastro Dr in Nov.
I just love it when they say the side effects are mild to none.
I would be very careful if you have to take Welchol.
I guess it works for a lot of people BUT there are always a few who have side effects. This was not in my imagination because THEY did the blood work.
