| 2 | High Cholesterol | Aching limbs, muscle pain, dull chest pain, shooting pain in inner thigh, occasional pains in feet and hands, nausea, dizzyness. Even when I stop taking this for a couple of months the pains do not go away. Has anyone completely come off this and their symptoms have gone? if so, how long did it take? | F | 65 | 2 years 10 1X D | 4/27/2022 | ||
| 3 | High Cholesterol | I'm no longer taking this medication. I do not take any drugs now, just try to keep my cholesterol low with diet and exercise (works a bit). Wee all need some cholesterol. I am prepared to take my chance and not poison myself with drugs. | Although this medicine did reduce my cholesterol I was not happy with the side effects. I still get them from time to time and have not taken the drug for about 6 months. | F | 67 | 3 months 10 1X D | 5/16/2024 | |
