Comment:
Had serious side effects. Muscle tightness all up and down my back and left arm. Numbness/tingliness in my left thumb and first finger, headache, loss of appetite, and not knowing when I am full. Tired in the middle of the day. If I don't time it just right and eat 30 min after taking the med, I experience diarrhea for a couple of hours.

Comment:
I have been taking Lopid for more than 2 years and have not experienced any adverse side effects. I usually take before bed and when I wake up. Triclycerides have dropped and remain manageable.

Comment:
I started taking this for high cholesterol and because the newer market meds were too expensive. I also take fish oil supplements. Taking Lopid 30 minutes before eating is impossible unless I want to endure the worst acid-reflux imaginable. Have to take it with food. Had recent blood test and levels are still in high range.
