Not a tricor patient but was on Lipitor 20 mg for 14 months and Crestor 10mg for 3 days- when a doctor rechallenges a patient with a second statin the side effects are way worse and they have stayed with me now for 3 months since quitting Crestor around May 10 - some of the symptoms have lessened but each month there are new ones- increasingly bad headaches and diarrhea-

my doctor in Texas put me on Prenisone- specifically Medrol 6 day dose pac but he mestepped down too quick- no symptoms while on it and then headaches and diarrhea as soon as I was off of it- so he trying it again for 10 days- Prednisone has its side effects but they are better than statins any day- ask about it
