Do Not Take Trilipix

Updated

I have been taking this medication for 5 years. In the past 5 years I have been to neurologists, rheumatologists, chiropractors, physical therapy, accupuncture, MRI's and the list goes on and on. I have been told I have all kinds of things wrong something different from every doctor. The pain in all my joints especially hips and back and neck was so bad my muscles would quiver and I would be nauses. I was so fatigued and agited with even my family due to the pain - it made me a different person, I slept but not well I could not imagine living another 10 yrs and I am only 43. Never thought it was the trilipix I quit taking it and its all gone within 2 weeks.

Hello, Victoria! How are you? I'm sorry about what you've been through.

I'm surprised no one thought it was the Trilipix a long time ago, these medications that are used to help lower cholesterol are well known to cause those types of side effects in some people that take them and most of the time, the person has to discontinue the drug.

As to the hair loss, that could be hormonal. You are the right age for perimenopause symptoms to start and with everything you were going through, plus being on this medication, your hormones may have been severely affected and it could take awhile for things to settle back down.

Have you been suffering from PMS? How regular are your cycles?

I am curious, did you have any side effects when you stopped trilipix? My husband took it for 5 years and we suspect it has affected his memory. He stopped 4 days ago and he asked me tonight if there are any withdrawal symptoms I read about. I told him I didn't see any. Tonight he has mild anxiety and a bounding heart. Did you have any of this?
