Blood test after 3 weeks of taking TriCor 145 mg shows that my creatine level is 248. Doctor suggested I stop medication and see a cardiolgist. Just as a side not, I was taking two tablets at a time once a day. maybe this is why Creatine is elevated ??

Only been on it for 3 days-stomach cramps and buring in upper intestines. Feel weak and have had headaches for 2 days. There's got to be other ways to deal with my condition.

I stopped taking Lipitor due to severe leg pain & sleepless nights. After 1 month of no drug the pains went away, then I started Tricor & the leg pains & sleeplessness returned in 1 week. I don't know yet how effective the drug is but it has stopped me from going on my 4 mile morning walk!
