I have read all of the symptoms on this page and have many of them. I too was on all of the statins but had to stop due to terrible muscle aches, pain and fatigue. This is my second attempt at Welchol and the same as before lower back and hip pain, foot pain, lethargy and trouble sleeping. Dr said not absorbed by the body so no side effects, B.S. I also had a strange bout of anemia before, I'll bet it was the Wechol then too. I'll take my chances with the Cholesterol I can't live like this. There must be something else we can take?

Just started taking it 2 days ago, already, headache, watery eyes, acid reflux. Couldn't take statins either, Lipitor=terrible foot pain, Zocar= major stomach upset, High Dose Niacin=terrible itching, Crestor=immediate memory lose and now this. Think I need to tell the Dr.'s to leave me alone and let the LDL's role. From reading these post I think there is a group of us that are not supposed to take this crap....
