I have been on this lovastatin for awhile now, but within the past 2-3yrs. now i have found to have extremely sore/inflamed joints in the evening and morning. My hair as also started falling out, but was told this was just "stress." I am hoping to change to another as this is just not working.

Comment:
This drug is very dangerous. On my second day, I experienced severe pains in both thighs. My left leg was so weak, I could hardly get out of bed & was unable to go upstairs. Two weeks out , I still have severe cramping in my left hip & thigh. After a blood test, I was told the lovastatin was not the cause & to continue taking it. I will be changing my primary care Dr.

I have one kidney. My Dr.put me on 40 mg. I have swollen ankles, feet and legs. My kidney hurts. My veins in my legs are burning. I have a bladder infection. All the side effects listed on WEBMD. My Dr says it's my age (66). It sure couldn't be Lovastatin. I took it for 2 1/2 weeks Not very happy! This is my life we are talking about.
