"Comment to the one that is taking simvastatin with the Ranexa, I read earlier that was one of the medicines that was not to be taken with Ranexa or at least some people need to reduce the simvasatin dose. My dad takes the med for his angina and I was just looking at side effects. His could be from Ranexa but not sure."

I've been taking 500mg twice a day and its working. No more pains that was Dec. had already met me max payout. Now Jan. and now they want $359.00 for 1 month and almost $1000.00 for 3 months too expensive for me Sorry!! Good medication but I'm NOT paying that"

"Five stents and put on range a almost immediately. Very good but I still had angina. Last summer, my cardio put me on Norvasc. Absolutely terrific drug for angina. Angina pretty much disappeared. When I ran out last month, for five days, I started having attacks again. Do inquire about it. I am going to talk to her about getting off Ranexa. Super expensive, too, for a retiree, or actually anyone! $1200 a year. I am also going to call the company regarding financial help. Sometimes, they provide it. Only attacks I now have are when I walk in the cold. But spring is coming."

"I am in moderate systolic heart failure and I started having angina this year. Since starting on Ranexa, I am experiencing less pressure/angina. I haven't noticed any significant side effects on my dosage of 500 twice a day. My cardio wants to increase it so I can be more active and avoid any discomfort at all, like slight pressure when walking faster or bending over/lifting. I am not sure and waiting to decide if I should double it to 1000 twice a day. I am turning 73 but was fairly active even with chronic pain. Tricky time of life. But I still have things to do!"

"Ranexa stopped the angina and I felt much better but the side effects were awful. Severe confusion, memory loss, vomiting, increased urination (so much so I was up every hour or so at night)."
