Hi! I am new to DS, my daughter convinced me to join. My HA was 5-30-09, with one stent put in after. I have felt very ill and fatigued with many stomach problems and stomach and chest pains (heart tests are currently normal).

I just stopped the Vytorin 2 days ago and the stabbing upper stomach pain has lessened. Has anyone else had problems with this medication? I am terrified, and really appreciate any responses. Thank you so much and blessings.

" I haven't take Vytorin, but I was on Zocor and CANNOT tolerate it. It caused terrible muscle pain and the worst diarrhea I've ever had. I switched to Crestor and things are much better. "

" I take Lipitor. In the beginning I was on a very high dose and it constipated me terribly, had pain from that but since my dose has been lowered, everything seems to have straightened itself out. "

" I've heard Vytorin can do that to you. I had and still have great fatigue since my attack on April 1st. I have had stomach pains and chest pains. They are panic attacks. Scared about the whole, "Am I going to have another one? Will I die?" "
