      Merck, Schering-Plough: Confessions of a Vytorin Patient
      Without a doubt this had to be one of the dumbest trials ever conceived. It was like trying to hit a moving target with a stationary gun. Stupid !! I was on lipitor for years and never had cholesterol below 200 on 10 milligrams (I didn't want a higher dose of any statin). Vytorin reduced my cholesterol to 130. Unfortunately it doesn't affect HDL, only LDL, and this is what it did in the trial. It lowed LDL better than Zocor alone and there were no safety issues. I don't plan on using anything else.
