I was previously on Avorastatin but had to discontinue because of muscle aches and nightmares that it gave me along with raising my blood sugar. I stopped avorastatin and through diet brought my A1C from 5.7 to 5.5 within a few months. Then my doctor wanted me to use Livalo. Initially it lowered my total cholesterol to 169.

After 4 months of use my cholesterol and no dietary or exercise change it then raised my cholesterol to 201 and my A1C to 6.0 which is the higher than it's ever been. I am discontinuing. Also my doctors says that since I am prediabetic anyway that I will become diabetic eventually. I don't agree as I know of some people that have been pre-diabetic for their whole lives and never became diabetic. One fact to note is that their is evidence to show that some people will have higher blood sugars levels on statins.

I have been on Livalo for approximately 6 months. I have blurry vision, constipation, memory loss, pain in wrists and thinning hair. I am going to discontinue use and see if these symptoms disappear.

Livolo is the third statin I've tried following rouvastatin (Crestor) and pravastatin (Pravachol). Side effects start within days: achy all over (similar to coming down with cold), strong pain in upper shoulders and back, exhausted, sleepy, frequent lapses in concentration. I have no clue if the pravastatin or Livolo are effective as I've stopped due to side effects before cholesterol ... Show Full Comment

Livolo is the third statin I've tried following rouvastatin (Crestor) and pravastatin (Pravachol). Side effects start within days: achy all over (similar to coming down with cold), strong pain in upper shoulders and back, exhausted, sleepy, frequent lapses in concentration. I have no clue if the pravastatin or Livolo are effective as I've stopped due to side effects before cholesterol testing. I took the Crestor for months and suffered. I had no idea the Crestor was causing my issues until I did a search online and made the connection. My doctor at the time didn't think the issues were related but my new doctor seemed to accept the side effects as statin related.
