Has anyone tolerated one over the other and/or is there any particular advantage(s) of using one vs the other?

I just got a script for the latter, but read that it contains sugar. Also, it seems that some docs prefer W while others prefer Q. Am going on it for the first time after being rebitten and reinfected a couple of weeks ago.

Input from fellow users would be greatly appreciated! Thanks folks.

I think you can get the Questran from a compounded pharmacy with the sugar in it.

Believe questran (csm?) is stronger, but welchol is better tolerated if patient has chemical sensitivities.
