Two weeks after starting Tricor, I started developing muscle stiffness that within two more weeks was so severe, I was only sleeping a couple hours a night because the pain kept me up. I went to the Dr and she said keep taking the tricor -she prescribed muscle relaxers and an NSAID pain med. They said maybe it was bad posture, and caused by working at a computer. They also suggested physical therapy. Neither helped. Two days later I went to a Chiropractor, with no relief. The next week I was calling her office again, after waiting in pain a couple days, she prescribed another kind of muscle relaxer and NSAID for pain, and again said to go to physical therapy. The medicin did nothing at all, and again I was so severly in pain, I felt as if someone was trying to rip my arms from my should...

My doctor prescribed Triplix to me to replace Tricor. I am on these medicines cause I have low good cholesterol. I have had shortness of breath a couple times since taking it and never thought it could be this medicine. I also have gained a significant amount of weight an can not loose it no matter how much dieting I do. The only connection I can make is this medication. As of today I have stopped taking it and will continue with my diet. I will see where this leads me. I think this medication is bad juju. ## Those can be normal side effects of most such cholesterol medications, that's why many people can't take them. Learn more Trilipix details here. How are you other cholesterol numbers?

My eGFR shows a level of 50; my Creatinine, Serum is 1.46 and my BUN/Cr raion is 14. I take Tricor, Lovaza, Pravastatin for lipids and Lisinopril for blood pressure. What does my eGFR indicate? ## My trigylcerides are held in check by Tricor. A year ago, my lab numbers showed Creatinine at 1.22 and last week was 1.46; eGFR listed as >59 last year and only 50 last week. Carbon Dioxide down to 19 last week from 22 a year ago. So, on Monday 2/7 Dr had these specific issues retested. Oddly, Creatinine now back to 1.23; eGFR above 60; not sure yet about Carbon Dioxide. Still using Tricor, thru all these tests. Why did numbers go to bad levels and return? ## I'm a diabetic, my bun level is 19, my creatinine level is 1.22, should I be worried.
