I was on Vytorin 10/20 for 1 year. I started having diarrehea almost immediatly especially right after a meal and in the mornings. Some days I'd be driving and I felt like I was going to pass out. Extreme tiredness. Dr says its Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Anxiety. Funny, never had this problem before taking Vytorin! Anyone else?

If this started immediatly after starting the drug then your Dr. is full of it . I had the same issue like 10 years ago when I took lipitor and zocor , I had better be near a bathroom after almost any meal . After quitting statins my digestive system normalized completely and can eat anything I want . This was just one of the fine side effects of cholesterol medicine , had many others besides that which all stopped after quitting statins.

Thanks, I knew I wasnt alone. How long did it take your digestive system to come back to normal?

if I remember correctly it wasn't much more than a month.
