Suggest Medication For Lowering Triglyceride Levels

Hi, I need help on lowering my triglyceride levels (currently 880). My doctor tried giving me fenofibrate but it did not work. I then started using Gemfibrozil and starting getting very itchey and had night sweats. I am very frustrated and my PCP seems frustrated as well. Are there any other options for me? The cheaper the better as I do not have drug coverage. John
