Maybe there's some sort of genetic component here, but...we both had some serious cardiac issues with it. His triglycerides went from the 100s to the 500s in about a year. I developed hypertension (high blood pressure). It was so bad I had to stop and have also developed an abnormal EKG since taking the medicine. Additionally we both had severe personality changes - my mom was afraid that my dad was going to get arrested he was so aggressive and I became very compulsive and started doing some bizarre self-injury type of stuff I've NEVER done before.
I don't doubt that it works perfectly well for some people, but neither my dad nor myself were able to identify these bad things going on & so....Please be careful using this medicine!
