I have been on this drug for just over 2 months. I had a headache for the first few days but it quit. My Dr. put me on the 2mg pills, they have less side effects. So far so good, but I haven't had my blood work done yet. I did find out if you don't have insurance, you can get a card from livalo so you only have to pay $25.00 per month. That works for me! Plus no really bad side effect like I ... Show Full Comment

Plus no really bad side effect like I had with crestor, lipitor, welchol, and prevastantin. This may be a keeper!

I have now been on this med for a month. So far so good. I had headaches for the first week to 10 days, but not anymore. The Dr. lessen the dose from 4mg to 2 mg. I have had no muscle problems like the last 4 meds, no dizziness, and I make sure to drink plum smart everyday and so far no bowel problems. Maybe this one will be a keeper!

This is my 10th stantin med. So far (only almost a week), so good. No aches. Blood cholesterol will be tested in Nov. Have to take with food at dinner or after. Makes me sleepy, no more insomnia.

Lately, the severe pain has been in my kidneys and lower back. I take Hyaluronic Acid that helps the pain tremendously. If I miss a dose, the pain is unbearable.

After 3 days on this medicine I developed extreme pain in my body, (elevating at bedtime, when I lay down, the pain is throbbing severely) I then started getting headaches, and extreme sore throat. Lately, the severe pain has been in my kidneys and lower back. I take Hyaluronic Acid that helps the pain tremendously. If I miss a dose, the pain is unbearable. I will call my doctor to report the pain and side effects. Not what I want to take for long term. After 2 days off the medicine, I don't hurt so bad. I have tried every other day and every 2 days, but the pain and headache is still a problem.
