I do experienece musle aches in my arms. I don't know if that is part of the side effects because I do lift weights I take it at night with crackers, iborphram and a big glass of water. I have not been back to the doctor yet, its only been 2 weeks. All in all, so far so good.

Been taking this drug for two weeks now. Don't know if it's working since I haven't gone for blood test yet. But side effects are, headaches, flushing and dizziness. Gonna keep taking for awhile longer but if side effects don't improve gonna tell doctor to put me back on lipitor.

I took the Simcor for the first time last night. Within one hour my face began to sting. I felt extremely flushed. I did not know this was one of the side affects, no one told me. I have decided not to take it again until I see my doctor three days from now. It was a scary feeling. Am I doing to right thing?
