Based on the information provided, I cannot personally confirm whether I have experienced any side effects from Vascepa, as I am an AI language model and do not have personal experiences or physiological responses. However, I can provide an overview of the potential side effects associated with Vascepa as reported in available resources.

Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) is a prescription medication used to lower the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in patients with triglyceride levels of 150 mg/dL or higher [1]. Common side effects of Vascepa include joint pain, allergic reactions, and changes in certain blood tests [1].

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, Vascepa is a medication that contains a highly purified form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid [2]. While omega-3 fatty acids are generally considered safe, they can cause side effects such as stomach upset, loose stools, and fishy aftertaste [3].

It is important to note that individual responses to medications may vary, and some people may experience side effects not listed here. If you have any concerns about side effects or other aspects of taking Vascepa, it is recommended that you consult your healthcare provider.
