I have been on Tricor for a week now, and am doing fine. I have not seen any of the complications of Tricor's interaction with Zocor, the Simvastatin that I'm taking.
I have to say that Tricor and Plavix, the anticoagulation drug I take, are very expensive. The new insurance where I work is marginal at best, as it requires me to pay out of pocket at pretty much list price for medications until I hit a very high deductible (thousands). My Plavix and Tricor are over $200 each month.
I suppose the alternative is worse, but I bothers me that our new medical plan is supposed to encourage good health practices. I'm paying out of pocket for my follow up PCP visits and most everything else.
On the positive side, I had a couple of milestones this week: a 29 mile week running, and a 9 miler on Friday morning. I'm getting back into that running rhythm. I've also been taking Omega 3,6,9 supplements - one of fish oil and two of flax seed oil. Still no chicken wings or fries!
