For Hypertriglyceridemia "I took fenofibrate continuously for 40 days. I never had triglycerides so low in my life (150 mg). Due to multiple side effects (sore throat, sinusitis, muscle aches, and tiredness), I decided to stop it. Now 2 weeks later, I felt well and all side effects went away. I decided to restart the medication, this time 3 times per week (145 mg). 10 days later, I am back with leg and back pain as well as a sensation of general weakness as if I had a viral illness. Today I decided to stop it and call my physician."

Fenofibrate for Hypertriglyceridemia "My doctor put me on TriCor 145 mg because she said my triglycerides were way too high. I don't know what the numbers were. I just do what my doc says I should do. I went and did a lab test. My doctor said TriCor brought my triglycerides and other things way down to where she is happy. I asked her if the dose was too big because TriCor left me feeling tired. She agreed that I could half the pill and take labs in a month. So, TriCor, I would say, is doing me good and I will continue to take it until the doctor says I don't have to take it anymore."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "Was put on fenofibrate by my doctor, and 12 days later I had to stop due to extreme fatigue, rash on hands and arms, pain in upper right chest, felt tired all the time. It did not seem to agree with me, so I'm back to square one."

"My triglyceride was high, so my doctor put me on this medicine, 145 mg fenofibrate. I have been taking it for 28 days now. I noticed I am very tired and weak, as well as pains in my feet, shoulders, headache, and chest. I was on Simvastatin before, which never bothered me. I am going to stop this medicine and contact my doctor."

Fenofibrate for Hypertriglyceridemia "I continued drinking alcohol after my doctor told me not to. I found out the hard way - became extremely tired and started bad sleep habits. I stopped drinking with this medication and now feel great!"

"Taking this drug increases my calorie burn during and post-exercise. I have not experienced any muscle or joint pain. It does make me feel lethargic."
