Joyce of Adrian WV (09/17/08)
I was on Vytorin for about 4yrs, and my legs hurt all the time and my Stomach. i also have Jaw pain and very tired all the time. I am worried abot the Plauqe build up that was stated it could cause and now to hear it also might cause Cancer. what are we supposed to do worry all the time and wait to see what will happen to us now. I believe we should have been told about this long before now.

Patricia of Wildwood NJ (05/29/08)
I went on vytorin 3 years ago since I have been on it I have had severe pain in my legs. I mean really bad pain to the point where I could hardly walk and had to put my legs up.I also feel really tired also from this. I also have pain in my hands to the point where sometimes they hurt so bad and I have to wear a brace.

The only damage I feel I might have is the muscles in my legs are hurting alot.

Karen of Green Bay WI (05/01/08)
I have been on Vytorin for two years. In the past couple months I have experienced pain and weakness in my legs. I also have pain in my arms and pain in my hands and shoulders. The pain has spread to my neck and jaw.

I had a CT calcium heart scan 12-04 in which my total coronary score was 80. After two years on Vytorin, not only did the Vytorin NOT reduce the plaque or keep it in check, my calcium score has risen to 171 which puts me at a moderate risk for atheroscherotic plaque and mild coronary artery disease highly likely.

Jd of Severna Park MD (01/17/08)
I've taken vytorin for nearly a year, along with plavix aand aspirin. but, so far, vytorin has had no positive effect in my plaque buildup. i wonder if you know of class action lawyers intersted in this type issue?

Michel of Mchenry IL (01/16/08)
I have been taking Vytorin for several years, just learned that no only does do no good, it might be contributing to my early death by building up plaque in my blood vessels. I want a class action suit against not only Vytorin, but Osco Drugs who has neglected to watch over my interests and inform me of these facts, I had to learn them from television news coverage. Even my doctor was waiting for god knows what to notify me that I should change drugs. But Vytorin (it's makers) are the responsible parties, they made it.

It has cost me thousands of dollars over the past several years that I've been taking it, kept me from taking another drug that might have been better and possibly made my condition worse according to the reports and my cardiologist.

Louise of West Columbia SC (01/15/08)
My doctor asked me to take a drug called Vytorin to help me lower my cholesterol level. I took Vytorin 3 or more months when I started to feel pain in my muscles and a weak feeling that came on slowly. I went back to my doctor, and she sent me for tests. About 2 weeks went by, and I got worse. I went into the hospital, and they said it was Vytorin that was killing me; they kept me for 2 weeks.

They put iv's in my arms for 2 weeks and drained all the Vytorin out of me. Iit was awful hard on me. I'm not sure how much money I paid the hospital. I still have trouble with my stomach and my blood pressure. I'm now 84 years old; my doctor told me I'm lucky to be alive.

Beulah of Bancroft MI (01/15/08)
I have taking vytorin for more than 6 months. For the past month I have had severe pain in my upper arm, sholder to elbow. Also weakness in my arm and hand. Have in the past few days short pain has occured in my left upper arm.
