For Hypertriglyceridemia "I had taken Trilipix for one month with my prior doctor, and it worked great for me and brought my lipids down a great deal. I'm with a new doctor now and tried Trilipix again because my lipid panel was high again. The very first dose I took, I got calf pain and still have it, constant pain. The doctor told me to stop the medication. Not sure why it bothered me this time and not the first time I took it. I'm on seven different medicines now for other ailments, which might have something to do with the reaction this time. The doctor now says I have nerve damage from my diabetes, but I don't think so."

For Hypertriglyceridemia "I have been taking Trilipix with a statin for about 2 years. I lowered my triglycerides from roughly 500 to 200. I was concerned about side effects, so I quit taking the medicine for about 8 weeks. Any of the issues, such as pain, did not change. I don't seem to be experiencing any side effects. I had hoped it would lower the levels into the 'good' range. The cholesterol levels are good, with the exception of HDL being too low."

For High Cholesterol "Started it in August for triglycerides. Within 15 days, I was getting pain in my right side. Quit the Trilipix for 30 days until I saw the doctor again. Pain still there. Started taking it again and now going through MRIs, CAT scans, the big colonoscopy (upper and lower). You name it, to find a cause, but nothing is found. Blood work is all normal. Just odd that this started at the same time I went on Trilipix."
