I have celiac disease and my hemotologist has me taking 2 pills a day. I also had open heart bypass surgery at the same time. When I take the Foltx...it makes my heart palpitate and I cannot tolerate these meds.

I have had no problems with this medication. My mother died at age 32 of blood clots. I inherited her disorder. This medication helps keep my Homocysteine levels normal. I am 47 and have two grandkids and plan on being around for a long time!!!!

Have been taking Foltx as a more natural way for inflamation vs taking stronger drugs such as Mobic - is may not be as effective as Mobic but not wanting to take the risk of the stronger drugs.

I was prescribed this drug to help lower my cholesteral. My doctor said that Foltx was given to patients who had a heart attack and to reduce the risks with having another one. I am not sure what this med is really for? I don't see any reference to plaque build up.

taking this med for 4 days when I become to overwhelmed, uncontrobale shaking, sweating, pale, nervousness... you list it I proberly had it. I took it as perscribed and boy those were the worst days of my life.. I went to the drug store to see if there was anything to counteract the symtoms. the pharmisist was so close to calling 911 becaue he felt I was having a terrible reaction to this drug.. I went back to my PCP and explained I CANNOT take this drug.. looked at me like I was "Crazy" as soon as I stopped taking it, life went ack to normal. but now I am being forced to take it again to prevent that wonderful stroke/heartache.. so what do I do?

While drug has assisted in stopping muscle twitches and improved my blood levels, my appetite is enormous and I have gained 15 pounds in 2 months. Being as the only change was switching to this medication, I conclude it is the cause.
