I was on Zocor for 3 months. It worked great lowering my cholesterol. That said, I developed horrible pain in my hip and knee. It was hard to sit, stand or walk. I would get up at 3:00 am to sit on a heating pad. Bending over to wash my face was agonizing. I went to an ortho doctor who said it was severe muscle strain. Iâ??ve been off Zocor for 2 months now and feel much better. I will never ... Show Full Comment

Muscle aches started after years of use - 20mG. Prior I had unexplained peripheral neuropathy which several neurological tests and MRI/MRAs couldn't explain. Off the drug and feeling better.

Visit my clinician for all these condition and not once did she suggest or discuss with me that these could be side effects of this drug...so much for talking to you doctor first before stopping the drug!!! Take control of your own health! I stopped on my own the fatigue was gone in less than 24 hrs. Told her about it and she still wanted me to get back on the drug if my cholesterol was elevated. I told her I would not put this poison back in my body and that my side effects greatly outweighed any benefit this drug may have. It's not fit for human consumption! I don't believe the low numbers presented of patients with side effects. Now it's time for me to consult with legal counsel.
