For Hyperlipoproteinemia "I was on 45 mg, and it wasn't doing the trick, so my doctor upped me to the 145 mg pills. A few days later, I started having chest pains, difficulty breathing, headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, and a racing heartbeat. Two trips to the ER within 3 days for heart attack symptoms (all tests were normal both times). I stopped taking this yesterday and already feel much better. I have a follow-up appointment soon, and we'll have to find another drug for cholesterol because this one doesn't agree with me."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "I am taking this medicine for the last three weeks, and I had to stop it because of extreme fatigue, dizziness, imbalance, can't concentrate on work, vertigo, excessive bloating and gas, indigestion. Even right now, I can't concentrate properly, and it feels like I am floating in the water. I was taking Rosuvastatin 5, then my doctor suggested increasing from 5 to 10 and added Fenofibrate. Since Rosuvastatin didn't create any problem, and actually I feel better every day, I think Fenofibrate doesn't suit me."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "Well, after blood work revealed extremely high cholesterol, I've been taking fenofibrate 54 mg for a month now, and I'm a diabetic with an overly enlarged heart and in renal kidney failure. After reading this, anyone experiencing my serious health issues SHOULD NOT BE TAKING THIS STUFF. It could be fatal, not to mention the side effects I'm dealing with: loss of appetite, nausea bad, severe muscle and joint cramps, pain, weakness, always dizzy, lightheaded, the most irritating itching rash like you can't believe. I feel like things are crawling all over me. I literally have scars from scratching myself raw. Ugh, screw this, I'm stopping immediately, high cholesterol or not. I can't take the shoulder pain and the dang rash, itching. Why this type of medication is being used with these types of severe side effects completely baffles me."
