Anyone taking Zetia? My doctor prescribed at my last visit and I have been [View all]

taking it for about 4 weeks. I had bad side effects from the 2 previous statin drugs she prescribed, so this is a non-statin alternative. After I had been on Zetia for a couple weeks, I noticed muscle weakness in my left hand. Couldn't open ziplock bags, button up my shirts, zippers weren't cooperating. My right hand is dominant, but I've always been able to do things fairly well with my left hand, but now I can't. Has anyone else had a side-effect like this. I've read that muscle weakness is one side effect of using Zetia.
