Zetia And Vertigo, Arm And Leg Pain

Updated

My husband took Zetia for several years with no side effects..that we recognized. He has suffered sudden onset vertigo on and off for several years...fine one minute..throwing up and unable to stand the next. He started complaining with his legs being weak so we started walking to help build muscles...he's always been extremely active. After a few more weeks the weakness was worse...legs and hips. We finally researched enough to pinpoint the problem as Zetia. The end of this month will be 3 months off. Now he has severe pain in his arms and shoulders..and the legs and hip issue is better some days than others. We are both scared that this won't get better. The pain from this is stealing his joy...his rest...his ability to live a normal life. At this point...we desperately need prayers...and someone to tell us it will get better....

Hello, Sunshine! I am sorry about what your husband has had to deal with. How is he doing? Has there been any change?

Zetia is used to help lower cholesterol, and unfortunately, these medications are notorious for causing these types of side effects in many people that take them, other side effects may include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and cold-like symptoms.

Ref: Zetia Information

The symptoms should continue to ease with time, but there's no way to be sure how long it may take. Has he informed his doctor? It's always best to consult them to be sure that nothing else is going on, and that the symptoms were only due to the medication.

My Zetia symptoms got worse over time. I quit the medication. After a month of being off of it, I still have some muscle tenderness and I'm sore. I'm dizzy too and feel a tad shaky. This drug is awful.
