I wished I come across this site earlier. I had all the symptoms described. Currently had severe knee pain, right shoulder pain, tired, watery eyes, nauseating back headache, dizziness...
Had WELCOL for about 6 months.
Will seriously try to seek alternate method. I am 47yrs old

I have been on Welchol since April & have been experiencing several unexplained problems. I have been having "sweats" which I just chalked up to being menopause symptoms.........but now not so sure. I can't sleep & suffer from muscle pain as well as muscle spasms in my face. Is anyone else having any of these issues!

Just started Welchol after trying Lipitor & others. Have now developed severe vertigo & my right upper arm is killing me. I can't drink ANY alcohol because it makes me violently ill, almost to the point of throwing up, My doc says this drug is non-systemic & says I should have a brain scan...I stopped taking it 3 days ago-arm pain is gone but not the vertigo yet...I'll have to weigh my options of going back on it again.
Has anyone else had dizziness & lightheadedness from this?

This is my second try with Welchol. I have stopped this med because of headaches. Is anyone else having headache problems? Do they subside with continued use?

I have been taking Welchol for a week and a half. I have noticed a little dizziness and some muscle pain. I don't seem to have much energy either. Sleeping is what I want to do most these days. Not good. Just wanted to share my side effects with you..

I took Welchol for about a week. Then, one morning, after taking it with my oatmeal, about half an hour later, I started feeling dizzy. I had to stop what I was doing and lie down. The dizziness kept getting worse and worse until the room was spinning out of control. I finally threw up, and all that came up was the white, chalky medication, NOT the oatmeal I had eaten earlier! I was weak and shaky for days after this episode, and now I'm afraid to take any more Welchol.
