I was on Atorvastatin 40 mg for about 60 days and then started having uncontrollable, severe nose bleeds. After three trips to the ER, I demanded that my doctor switch me back to Simvastatin. Beware of this drug! Didn't work for me...

Began taking 80mg and started having cramps in my lower back and legs. Doctor wanted me to take half of the dosage for a week and see if that helped. Pain in my legs damn near unbearable, thinking about not taking this medication any longer.

Comment:
Three months of side effects - digestion issues, weight gain, muscle cramps and a constant soar throat. Coming off the drug resulted in a further four weeks of awful stomach pains. Reduced readings from 6.1 to 4.1 in three months, but not worth it for the side effects. Will find a less intrusive solution.
