<<<I was on Zetia a number of years ago My doctor back then described it as a "wimpy drug". If I'm not mistaken, it is usually prescribed to be taken in conjunction with a statin in cases where the LDL is extremely high and the stain alone doesn't lowered enough.>>>

My doctor also though Zetia was a wimpy drug and wouldn't work for me, but I insisted on trying it. He put me on it 3 months ago 10 mg a day. My cholesterol numbers have gone from 237 to 178 in those three months. Worth a try.
