Welchol, Fear Of Side Affects

I have high cholesterol, along with panic disorder. Obviously I terrified of drugs. I was prescribed Welchol, and I'm staring at the thing like it's going to close up my throat. Anyone have some positive feedback that will help me take this? Thank you so very much.

Hello, Melissa! How are you?

I am very sensitive to medications myself, so I understand how you feel, I usually dread needing to take anything new.

Regarding this one, as with any medication, it works great for some people and they experience no problems from it, while the opposite may be true for others.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

Are you on any other medications?
