I learned too late that it destroys muscle and connective tissue. I was force-fed this stuff following a heart transplant. The heart transplant was made necessary by heart failure -- caused by Lipitor. All cholesterol-lowering chemicals will kill you.

I have taken this for over two years but had to limit my daily dose to two instead of four grams for tolerance levels. Lately I am having leg pain and between that and the cost, I think I will go to omega 3 over the counter. Every body is different. Pay heed to your own needs.

5-6 mo. diligence in taking 1-4 gm, no improvement. Definitely not the answer to consistent 250-450 triglyceride counts. Makes the tongue sting, other high acid complaints. Will take 1 gm per week. Not doing the fibrates or statins again, not enough aspirin in the world.

The pills are HUGE. I'd rather take 6 smaller pills than take those behemoths. I got an odd sensation of having eaten fish. It wasn't a fishy taste but it was very unpleasant. I don't know if it was effective because I quit taking it. That sensation of having eaten fish and a bit of nausea were too much for me. Both are gone now.

Doubled my triglyceride level

too expensive for me i have to stop taking

triglycderides were cut in half after 3 month, even though I had to lower the doseage from 4 a day to 1 a day because of severe chest pains and stomach pain, indigestion. I wish I could take this medication, but the doctor told me to stop taking it.

No side effects - works great for me.

I started with high numbers overall - 298 total, 377 trig, 202 ldl and 38 hdl. I went on pravastatin for 6 months and rechecked with only minimal results and an increase in trig and decrease in hdl. I asked for Lovaza to be added to my regimen. A month a half later I had my numbers checked again... my cholesterol has come down to 177 my ldl to 104 and my hdl has gone up to 40 but most impressive to me is that my trig has decreased to 166. I was already doing the diet thing because of issues with digestion and weight loss so this has been what I will consider a life changer. I am only 40 and my mother, brother and grandfather all has history of high blood pressure and hear disease. My mother had her first heart attack at 53 and my grandfather had quadruple bypass in his 60's. I know cholesterol isn't the sole predictor but I will do what I can to prevent issues. I tried Krill oil for a few years as well as niacin, red yeast rice and other things but none worked so well. No burp and besides being a huge pill it works for me.Read More Read Less

Very satisfactory medical results. Insurance recently stopped paying for Lovaza. Have been informed that all insurance companies have also stopped paying

I stopped taking Lovaza after one year because I started to have non-stop sinus infections. Evently I developed vertigo, and swelling of my check area. I would not recommend this drug to anyone who wanted to protect their immune system.

I took Lovaza for 45 days. The first 30 days were fine then I started feeling like my head, face, lips were on fire. Then flu like symptoms and finally chest pain. Stopped the Lovaza and in 3 days felt almost back to normal.

Started trilipix last year,it worked great the first month, then i developed severe full body itchy rash. was taken off. prescribed Lovoza 4 wks ago. 12 days ago developed diarehea and no improvement as yet. something like 12 to 14 times daily, mostly liquid. waiting for dr to return from vacation to question him. cannot live this way, haven't been out of the house since the onset.....anyone suffered this side effect, and does it ever go away while still taking medication?

I take 4 tabs a day and I have had no side effects. I have noticed my hair grows fast and is thicker than it's ever been. My Triglycerides have dropped drastically and are within the recommended range within 4 -6 months.

The initial cost was high but after meeting my deductible, the cost for Lovaza wasn't much higher than other high end fish oil supplements. The really positive thing was it lowered my triglycerides to 145 after being stubbornly between 350 and 500 for several years.

Take 2 pills twice a day with food as per instructions. Within 6 months, all Lipids are reported normal. I am very impressed with this drug. An unexpected benefit was a vast improvement in the overall condition of my hair, skin & nails.

I am sick to my stomac all the time and trying too figure out what is the cause.

I took Lovaza about 3 years ago with triglycerides pushing 1,000 mark.... levels came down very well within two months and I had absolutely no side effects even through I was taking Plavix at the time. Am starting Lovaza again tomorrow and pray it works as well this time.

I started taking this 4 days ago. I stopped today. I have SEVERE lower Abdominal pain and haven't slept in 2 days. Diahrea(sp) for the whole time. I love it when you feel fine, but your numbers are off, and the doctor provides a drug that makes you miserable
