After starting Januvia, I started having severe muscle pain along the lines of lactic acid burning pain when doing anything that used my muscles. I also developed creep crawly restlessness in my muscles. I also felt like I had the flu and my sinuses were swollen and had bloody drainage. After I went off Januvia, these symptoms gradually subsided. I went back on it and after two days on it all the symptoms came back and I feel like I have the flu. My muscles scream with burning pain that is really intolerable. If I walk anywhere, I have to keep stopping an giving my muscles time to recover before going on a little further. That's it for Januvia.

My husband started januvia a few months ago, in addition to his lipitor and benazepril and glumetza, which he was already taking for some time. Since starting I have noticed him being tired, irritable (almost angry), and short on patience in general. He has not complained of muscle pain, but has commented about having less hair. When I mention the mood/behavior changes, he tells me I'm wrong, he feels just fine. He won't discuss it with his doctor.

Thanks, good luck to all
