high cholesterol
"Battled High Triglycerides for nearly a decade (400-600 levels).  Altered diet (slightly) and was on 1000 mg of Niaspan for at least six years.  Not much impact.  

Last year, I started on Lopid.  Fairly religious about taking 30 minutes before every meal.  First test after being on Lopid for 2 months, my triglycerides dropped to 88!  I was stunned.  

I've remained on the medicine, but didn't worry about my diet, other than maintaining my weight level.  Second results came back at 93!  I realize Lopid doesn't work for everyone.  But for me, it's a HUGE difference over Niaspan - and without the potential long term side effects."
