I have been taking this med for over 2 years now. It has helped lower my bad and rise my good cholesterol. The only drawback is that it is very expensive. Can't wait for it to go generic.

I am only 22 years old and I have had high cholesterol my entire life. I was finally put on vytorin to see if medication will help. My cholesterol went from 260 to 164 in about 9 weeks. I have not noticed any side effects at all.

Like the previous posts, lots of pain in legs and arms. I have found out if you take it in the morning you won't wake up trying to get out of bed cause your joints hurt. Still by the end of the day, it feels like I just got done running a marathon. I'm hoping to find something else.
