Began taking Zetia becuse the Lipitor was causing muscle ache. I noticed
that the effect s of this drug are similar to Orlistat(sp?). Has anyone had
similar experiences.

I take Zetia 10mg as ezetrol. I noticed no symptoms or side
effects of any sort after I dropped lipitor and then started
on Zetia some months later, a while ago.

What are the effects of orlistat that you are relating it
to?

The drug worked quite well for my lipid numbers but had the side effect of
horrible gastric distress - which is the most tactful way I can think to
describe the side effects. I couldn't keep taking it.

Changed to Welchol.

That is about the most tactful way I can think of to describe it to. Seems
to have helped me loses a few lbs though.
