Are There Side Effects Of Welchol For Cholesterol?
I am taking 4 welchol tablets daily for high cholesterol and one triple omega. At last check my cholesterol was 318 and triglycerides were 525 (oct/2013). I have since lost 26lbs but am not due to go back til the end of feb. to check my blood levels again. I am feeling strange. I am experiencing confusion such as forgetfullness/brain fog. I am dizzy. I am irritable and have had some leg cramps in my left calve. Could I be taking too many meds now that I have lost weight?
