Goodbye Zetia, it was nice knowing ya! - High Cholesterol Message Board

After giving it two months, I'm saying goodbye to Zetia. It was a miracle drug and it did lower my bad levels dramatically in just three weeks. I was lucky and had no physical pains, and my upset stomach went away after the first two weeks.

But I could never get over the foggy head feeling. It was really interfering with my job, which is computer work and requires me to be focused at all times. It's too bad ...I really wanted it to work. I've been off it for three weeks now, and I'm back to my old self again. Best of all, I can think clearly again!

So I will look elsewhere to lower my cholesterol. I'm sure I can do it thru supplements, diet, and exercise.

Wish me luck.

Sometimes these drugs just aren't worth it . What did people do before all these drugs , isn't weird that things are no better since they developed these so called wonder drugs , there is just as much heart disease as there everr was .
