Family hx of high cholesterol - suddenly mine spiked so they put me on Crestor. I kept saying on knee hurt - MRI - nothing. My bones felt as if they were on fire after the slightest bit of exercise. Weight gain - they said it was post menopause. Insomnia which I never had, constantly clearly phlegm from my throat, and exhausted like I couldn't believe. The doc kept telling me it was my age...When my kidney function started to tank, they had to take me off Crestor. Within 3 weeks I noticed HUGE changes... Now 3 months later I'm back to my normal activities, no more insomnia, etc. Never put all the other side effects together until I came off this dismal drug. Have told multiple people about the exhaustion and the insomnia - everyone who has stopped the drug has also had those symptoms relieved. I believe the drug company needs to do further research - it can't be a coincidence that this many people have the same side-effects. Really unfortunate b/c my numbers did drop like a rock - but my quality of life was too severely affected - I'll just eat vegetables, thank you.

I suffered acute liver failure and severe muscle pain in my legs requiring hospitalization after 3 months on Crestor. It took several months for the muscle pain to diminish. Crestor is hazardous to your health.

Been on crestor for 2 months and now been to ER once and urgent care with symptoms I had no idea was crestor related. Pain in legs, nausea all the time, strange dreams memory problems. I am also on blood thinners and this drug has major interaction with warafin. Today I am going off this drug after reading all of the reviews cant believe the dr put me on this.

I have been on statins for years but on crestor 40mg for 12 months. I've experienced major fatigue and brain fog and dose now reduced to 5mg plus another drug. Feeling better after only 1 week!
