Add your reviewI have taken this medication and it worked really well for me
Statins make me hurt all over.

Proshelps with cholesterol problem
Consnone
this made my muscles weak and hurt in my legs and arms
Prosit is good for some people who can take it
Consthe side effects
My doctor gave me Vytorin until I developed muscle and skeletal pain. She then switched me to Lipitor last January. I recently informed her that I have now developed the same side effects. I have my annual physical in four weeks. I am anxious to see what she shifts to.
ProsWorked fine for six months. Then painful side effects started. I got the same story with Vytorin.
Have taken for several years.
ProsWorks great, no side effects.
Had to get off of it, caused severe muscle pains and confusion and trouble with balance while walking.
ProsNone did not even significantly lower my cholesterol
ConsCaused severe pains, confusion, etc.
switched to crestor 5 mg .
Was on this one for about a year. Did unspeakable things to my stomach on a daily basis and left me feeling queesy all the time.
Prosnot on it any longer, simvastatin seems to work better for me
Consqueesiness, upset stomach, general ill feeling
