I am not sure if Vytorin is the cause. I saw the doctor today. I have taken Vytorin approximately 5 months. The past 3 months I have sever nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, frequent headaches, aches and pains in joints. I have lost 20 lbs. Sweaty palms and feet, chills to burning up.I am exhausted and depressed. Some slight lower abdomen pain. It is difficult to even leave the house. I saw the Dr. today and he hardly recognized me. I have no idea what is wrong, but today I stopped Vytorin. If it turns out to be Vytorin I will post it immediately.

Have been taking Vytorin for about two months. So far, main side effects have been frequent stools, gas, and occasional diarrhea. Some tiredness; hard to know if it's caused by the Vytorin, though.
The only truly bad problems I've experienced happened when I ate a half a grapefruit. That night I awoke with a splitting headache and chills/sweats. The next day I had to take Pepto Bismol before leaving the house because I was constantly in the bathroom. Obviously the grapefruit doubled the effect of the medication.
