| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CRESTOR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | High cholesterol | Mental confusion, memory loss, mild headache for 12 days straight, neck pain, wrist pain, muscle spasms | Stopped crestor and about 3 to 4 days later the majority of my issues went away. Neck is still sore, the biggest change was the headache went away and the mental fog went away | F | 36 | 21 days 10 1X day | 7/18/2021 | 1 | Familial hypercholesterolemia | Muscle aches, fatigue, low mood, broken sleep, blood in urine etc | Have tried repeatedly to stick with this at lowest dose after failing with other statins and PCSK9 inhibitors. Yes it reduces LDL, but at too great a mental and physical cost. When off rosuvastatin, I comfortably cycle 50-70 miles fast with male friends on consecutive days. When on it, I just can't face cycling. If I do push through and cycle, muscles scream in discomfort for days after. Came off higher dose some years back at urgent insistence of GP after blood tests. Heart doc thought worth trying 5mg dose. But I'm done with persevering over a drug that feels so toxic. | F | 56 | 3 months 5mg 1X day | 7/6/2021 | 1 | High chloresterol | Severe body aches and pains, costipation, diarrhea, acid feflux, weakness. Side effects so badhad covid-19 ,and flu test run, both negative. | I think doctors should know their patients better before prescribing medicine on status guo. Will not take this medicine again. | M | 70 | 2 days 20 1X day | 6/9/2021 | 1 | High chloresterol | Severe body aches and pains, costipation, diarrhea, acid feflux, weakness. Side effects so bad had covid-19 ,and flu test run, both negative. | I think doctors should know their patients better before prescribing medicine on status guo. Will not take this medicine again. | M | 70 | 2 days 20 1X day | 6/9/2021 | 1 | High Cholesterol | Severe stomach pain to start. Muscle cramping next. The latest symptoms are swollen hands, feet and knees. All joints (toes included) in feet so swollen that it hurts to walk. Left hand so swollen that you cam't see the tendons or veins. Cannot even make a fist. Hand is too painful to even use. | If this drug causes this much pain to the muscles and joints what is it doing to your organs. They should have kept it off the market- it's poison!!! | F | 65 | 21 days 20 1X day | 6/2/2021 | 1 | High cholesterol | Dark circles under eyes; waterweight in legs; horrible aches; high blood glucose; depression; stupidity that even my wife commented on; beginning of kidney decline | Will never take this again. Wouuld be mentally and physically incapacitated or possibly dead had I kept taking this. | M | 60 | 3 months 40 1X day | 5/1/2021 | 1 | High cholesterol | Severe abdominal pain right out of the gate. | 68 | 1 days 20mg 1X day | 4/29/2021 | 1 | high cholesterol | Blurry eyes and very sensitive to daylight, headache, felt top heavy like I might topple over, fingers were 'clumsy' that day. Not a good experience. Then I waited a few days and cut the 5 MG in half and took the 2.5MG for one day had the same or worse side effect as before. Will stop. | F | 70 | 1 days 5 1X day | 4/26/2021 | 1 | Ldl was high | Foot swelling pain hips, elbows back leg cramps. Depression fatigue | Never take again stopped two days ago still in bed cant function want my life back | F | 63 | 2 months 5 1X day | 4/15/2021 | 1 | Chlolesterol | Back ache , blurry vision, numb cold feet, tired, no appetite | F | 56 | 2 months 20 mg 1X day | 1/21/2021 | 1 | 250 total cholesterol | This drug needs to be taken off market..and lawsuits filed against big pharma. Doctors prescribe starins for liability reasons, to protect themselves. I lasted 1 month on this nightmarish drug. Severe burning eyes, blurry vision, dry mouth and burning mouth, facial numbness and pain, neck and back pain, severe bodily burning and tingling sensation, sore feet, fatigue, depression, insomnia, muscle twitching, leg pain, disabling headaches, brain fog, groin pain, numbness in legs and feet, digestive upset, severe flatulence, etc. Really? They actually poison people with this drug. I am in disbelief. The heck with high cholesterol, what a racket. I stopped. No more. I am fit 64 year old female, low bmi of 17, no smoking, little alcohol, and organic low fat diet. I hope this is not permanent damage. I have been off this poison for 2 weeks but still suffering. Please, anyone, let me know these symptoms go away and how long it takes. | Take off market. | F | 64 | 30 days 5 1X day | 10/24/2020 | 1 | Heart Dr for High cholesterol | Having tremendous pain in the left side of my groin area....only started after I started this medicine... I can hardly WALK because the pain is SO BAD!! Bad headaches.....gonna STOP taking this medicine & call my heart doctor.....was taking Pravastatin, no problems with it , just cholesterol was a little high.... | F | 67 | 7 days 20 1X day | 10/10/2020 | 1 | High cholesterol & triglycerides | Extreme pain all joints incl hands, neck, feet, hips, knees, back disabling me to even walk by evening, stabbing pain in bones, sromach pain, edema, depression, irritability, high bp, anxiety. | Had to take every other day to function but dosage not high enough to benefit. PC said to stop taking all statins though at high risk!!! | F | 80 | 3 months 2.5 mg | 5/14/2020 | 1 | High Cholestrol | Extreme lack of energy. Could hardly get off the couch to do what was absolutely necessary to take care of myself. Muscle pain also. Within days of stopping this drug I had at least 50% more energy and less muscle pain. Who cares if I die of high cholesterol if living while taking this drug wasn't really worthwhile? Not me! | Watch out for side effects. | F | 74 | 2 years 1X day | 2/4/2020 | 1 | To lower cholesterol levels | HORRIBLE DRUG IF YOU HAVE GOUT TO AVOID A PAINFUL FLAREUP DISCONTINUE IMMEDIATELY!!! | M | 65 | 5 days 20mg | 2/3/2020 | 1 | high cholesterol | I first started having pain in feet/swollen feet and ankles. The pain then started in my neck and shoulders. Now have pain ips/buttock and hamstring. Tingling in hands and feet and a slight daily headache | F | 60 | 8 days 10 mg 1X day | 12/17/2019 | 1 | High cholesterol | Have 2 very bad knees, bone on bone, awaiting knee replacement surgery. When I could barely walk and was unable to sleep at night due to muscle pain, I initially attributed it to my failing knees. Now I know better. Stopped taking crestor 6 months ago, knees are still bad, but muscle pain has stopped and I just feel better. Never again! Poison! | F | 62 | 2 years 10 mg | 10/14/2019 | 1 | High LDL | Deep depression, sick stomach, flashing lights in lower right eye. IRRITABLE | Back to the drawing board BIG PHARMA, like many many drugs this drug will end up making us all sicker. Thanks for nothing!
