Vytorin and heart

Wow! I have been on Vytorin for 7 months. About a month after starting this poison, I had a panic attack. Scared me to death. I have been working with my Dr. to find the root of this new found anxiety. After reading these threads, it sounds to me like the Vytorin may be to blame. I also have a clay colored stool and have 2-3 bowel movements a day.

Had double pypass surgery in November '07. I'm 61 years old. All went very well, no heart attacks prior or to date.

While at the hospital I was put on Vytorin. Never thought much about it until recently I started experiencing insomnia. Not mild...I'm talking about up until 5 a.m. then it would subside. Finally the light came on. I have stopped taking Vytorin and have requested my doctor find an alternative. I have had other symptoms that I now can attribute to Vytorin. From what I understand it could take months to get out of my system. Any comments?

I ran across this web site after trying to figure out what was causing all my aches and pains. After I started taking Vytorin, I first noticed severe shoulder and neck pain. Other symptoms includes, headaches, depression, anxiety, moody, chest pains, joint pains, nausia, and feeling extremely tired. After visiting this site, I have taken my LAST vytorin. Now I just hope the side effects go away soon. Im 53 but feel 83.
