I was taking stains and ezetimibe. I would take breaks from the statin, then go back on and be symptom free. It ended up that I couldn’t take statins because of my body pain and I haven't figured out if ezetimibe gives me slight leg cramps. I go off and on that one. I did start on Praluent. I didn’t feel well for about 5 days, then it lifted. I had brain fog, diarrhea, and very low energy. I am going to take my second dose today or tomorrow. I am going to try to hydrate a lot before the injection like I did with the COVID vaccine. Then, hope for the best.

I am so sorry people are having such awful symptoms. My Dr said it is usually well tolerated. Is anyone taking it and having NO symptoms?

I reacted poorly to statins after two years. Statins gave me leg cramps and then a diagnosis of necrotizing myositis. They switched me to praluent and ezetimibe. I’m kind of low energy and lightheaded but on so many meds I doubt it is the praluent exclusively.
