I have experienced ascending peripheral neuropathy. It started in my big toes and gradually got worse. I had been diagnosed as pre- diabetic months months before so I thought that this was the cause, but it kept getting worse and worse and traveling up my legs and into my arms and hands. They would also go to sleep and it was getting more and more painful. I had told the doctor about it, but apparently I did not complain loud enough ( I should have yelled my lungs out).
I backtracked to anything I had done differently and the only thing I had done was start taking gemfibrozil (lopid), but that was many month before.
I searched for side effects but there was nothing specific on line or in the PDR (Physican's Desk Reference) and periperal neuropathy was not listed.
I quit taking it and two months later the symptoms began reversing. It took over two years for the symptoms to stop.
I told the doctors (two different ones) and they said this was not listed as a side effect)
NOW on the internet there are reports of this being sent to the FDA ( A lot of good that will do ) Most people who experience this are over 55 and it may take 6-9 months for the symptoms to appear.
I still have times where my arms go to sleep and I cannot wear knit shirts or anything that closely fits or my arms start going to sleep. (think this is called paresthesia, but I am not sure).
This drug is for lowering triglycerides. I will not take any drug in ths class or chloresterol lowering drugs.
Gymfibrozil has been on the market a long time. I cannot believe they did not know about this before now. Beware of drug side effects cover ups, it can cause you serious pain, damage or kill you)
