i am not sure whether my side effects are from ezetimibe or leftoverside effects from zocor or prednisone, but i am extremely stiff all the time, feel like i have a haze over my eyes, have lower back pain, tired and wake up with swollen fingers and my hands are asleep. does anyone else have these side effects...also dont know if i can go cold turkey from the medicine without problems, but would like to just stop takin it.
