Vytorin and Depression

Final Thoughts

For people taking Vytorin, depression is a possible side effect. However, because this occurs rarely (in less than 1 percent of people), it is difficult to know whether Vytorin causes depression or if it is caused by something else. If you notice any symptoms of depression while taking this drug, talk to your healthcare provider. He or she may recommend adjusting the Vytorin dosage or switching to another cholesterol medication.
