I also started taking Welchol, two in the morning and two in the evening. I started noticing that I can not get an erection, and I know it's the medication. Can someone out there tell me if i am the only one or is someone else having this problem due to Welchol?

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?

I just started using a prescription of Welchol. After two days, I am seriously thinking of discontinuing taking it. I am not prone to anxiety at all, and since I started using this, I have some anxiety and I am generally uncomfortable. Some gas and constipation. My heart rate is up a little. I really don't like this feeling of anxiety at all. I am taking Synthroid and Benicar.

Are upper limb weakness, muscle pains (like rheumatism)
joint discomfort side effects of Welchol. I started on this
medication 3 weeks ago, and have had these problems every
one or two days. Unlike when I took most of the statin
antihyperlipidemics, the addition of Vitamin E and Co-Enzyme
Q10 don't seem to relieve the symptoms. Do I need to worry
about this too much? Thanks.

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.
