"I've tried a lot of cholesterol-lowering meds, but can't usually tolerate them for more than a month. Unfortunately, Trilipix gave me the same side effects--dizziness, digestive miseries, etc. It's probably a wonderful drug for a lot of people, just not for me. I don't know if it made a difference in my cholesterol levels."

"Trilipix reduced my triglycerides from 3456 to 200, yes, that's the number, and lowered all my bad cholesterol from 355 to normal, but unfortunately, Trilipix gave me the same side effects: dizziness, joint pain, a lot of muscle pain issues. Now I'm going back to the doctor. I just noticed that when I read all the side effects of Trilipix, and now I understand what caused all the pain I was going through."

"I have been on Trilipix for 5 weeks, and it has lowered my triglycerides from 881 to 475 in just 28 days with a slight change in diet. I have not yet noticed any side effects other than having more energy."

"Worked great to lower all my bad cholesterol, but I have lost a lot of hair while using this medicine. I stopped about 2 months ago, and still, my hair is falling out."

"Trilipix greatly reduced my triglycerides when added to the Lipitor and Zetia that I was previously prescribed. No side effects from the Trilipix."

"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."
