Gave me adult rickets, depleted my hormones, my vitamin levels, gave me head tremors, weakened my immune system, have problems with my central nervous system, damaged myelin sheath,muscle atrophy, can't walk normal due to collapse hips due muscle problems and lack of vitamin d levels. Have to have hip surgery, neck surgery. Thirsty all the time. Ruined my life. After going off of this God forsaken drug, I am still having major health issues. Oh, and minor cuts turned into major infections. Had tooth pulled, hair falling out, severe headaches every day. Please do not take this drug. It is a death sentence for many people. It will destroy the quality of your life. If not immediately, in later life after a while, it will cause uncontrollable tremors, and kidney damage.

I am one of the few people it seems to suit. ... Show Full Comment

i have tried other statins and had severe leg cramps combined with excessive tiredness. I couldn't perform normal exercise that I had done for years. Discontinued statins on my own. Doctor insisted I try one last time and used this one. Now after 3 days I'm feeling excessive tiredness again. I think its the medication. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't see it on the list of side effects but it may be a precursor to the muscle and joint ache.
