"Have Aortic Stenosis and a 138 score Triglycerides BEFORE taking Vecepa. I took Vecepa to lower my score under 100. LOLOL in 6 months my score was "198" . Sought out other reviews. After reading these reviews, I feel Vecepa will NOT help me meet any beneficial goals."

"I am taking 2-1 gm Vascepa and 2- 90mg Brillinta together after having stents put in two of the arteries coming off my LAD. I started out with just one 1 gm Vascepa per day and then graduated to 2 on advice of my pharmacist. I have irritable bowel and with taking 2 Vascepa now it seems to be aggravating this condition."

"After having to do some back and forth with my insurance company, they finally approved Vascepa because I couldn't afford it otherwise. I've been taking just 2 pills once a day for about 6-7 weeks. I had blood work done in July and then again a couple weeks ago and my triglycerides have dropped from 245-179. I don't remember the last time my number was that low. I don't have any other side effects, good or bad, but I'm glad my numbers are dropping. This may help me get off 2 other meds I'm on."

"I'm taking vascepa to lower levels of triglycerides, 2 milligrams a day, after a few days develop small rash in face and also swelling under my big toes. I called cardiologist said it's not gout ,but recommended I stopped taking it and consult with primary doctor. So now I have a six month supply that I paid $308 for it and it might be useless to me. Mind you that's with insurance without insurance $1,174 not cheap. As yo can imagine not happy about the situation."

"Not only does Vascepa lower my triglycerides, it works better than any antidepressant on the market. Maybe it's my body chemistry, but about 3-4 weeks after taking the medication, my mood has vastly improved and has remained positive for the last three years. Love it. It's not cheap ($60 for a 90 day supply with my insurance), but it's well worth it!"

"You want to avoid taking this medication if you drink alcohol. Which I do. Daily. I was experiencing shortness of breath very bad. To the point where I was ready to go to the hospital. My fault but my doctor should’ve informed me of such things since he knew I was a drinker. I stopped taking the medication."

"Started several months ago. Stopped due to muscle aches and pains. Got better within 2 days, normal after 4 days. I got anxious about not taking it after weeks so I started again. Aches and pains the next day so I quit again. Still had some aches and pains so I stopped some other meds. My pains went away almost completely. I’ve started back on Vascepa and have no aches or pains. I guess interaction with other meds was a problem. If a person is taking several meds, and all of them have a common side effect, it’s bound to happen."

"I've been on Vascepa for a year, no side effects, no aches and pains, mind is clearer. The only thing I don't like is the size of the pill."
