Taking lipitor and had pain when walking. After coq10 I can now walk without pain. Had to walk five or six steps to get loosened up before but now I don't.

I was advised by a doctor to start taking CoQ10 to counteract muscle pain caused by statins. I still had pain. Then another doctor told me that I should take 1200 mg. per day to feel any results. I've done this for about three years now. One time I switched brands and developed muscle pain again. I'm still taking 1200 mg. per day. I still have some pain, but nowhere near as much as before I starte...

It is a huge relief, it offers resistance from pain, suffering and extreme fatigue. I am lost without it, this is very noticeable if I miss a day.. also prevents headaches( migraine) and increases my energy and ability to function. Marvellous! Something I shall continue to use, and offer my daughter who suffers migraine and cyclical vomiting syndrome. Highly recommended.

After my doctor changed my cholesterol medication, I was experiencing increased muscle cramping. After being on Q-10 for just a month, I have had a significant decrease in my muscle cramps.

I'm a 45 yr. old female going through menopause. I was suffering from mental fogginess, therefore I did research on Co-Q10. I found out that it works for the mental fogginess that some women experience from menopause. I take 100mg a day and I no longer suffer from mental fog. I am more alert and can concentrate throughout the day. I have not had any side effects from taking this medication for over 3 months.

Had two drug eluting stents implanted. Dr put me on Effient, a blood thinner. Experienced migraine like headaches, muscle pain in thighs, back, neck and head. Dr changed me to Plavix, same symptoms. Changed me to Brilinta, same symptoms. Did research, found that blood thinners and statins can create a toxic interaction and cause myopathy. Off statins now, taking CoQ10 to support immune system and rebuild muscle tissue. So far, results are encouraging. Muscle pain has moderated, headaches are gone, but still experiencing muscle weakness especially in upper torso. Expect this will improve once statins are flushed from body.Read More Read Less

I have taken 200mg each morning for just over 1 month. I have noticed a also take a beta blocker, a diuretic, a statin and a thyroid medicine. Within 2 weeks I noticed a sense of increased well being and energy. I am 62 and feel that this supplement is making a difference for me. I am hoping for ne blood pressure readings as well.

Took COQ10 for years. Had an episode of A-fib and are no longer allowed to take either COQ10 or Fishoil. Can someone pls explain the interaction of the above and PRADAXA? I also take HCTZ and Metopropol. The A-fib is gone but I would prefer not to take drugs. My cardo DR did not explain this to me (no time-no interest) but the pharmacist alerted me after I started asking questions regarding all the supplements I take. Also, where can I find a list of drugs and their interaction with supplements. Your help would be much appreciated.Read More Read Less

I am very statin intolerant. I started this supplement after reading a study about its efficacy for my problem. I have found that I no longer hurt when taking statins. I used to ache all the time, often having pain in large muscles at night. This totally eliminated the problem. It may be a placebo effect, who knows. All I know is that my cardiologist and I were both at wits end and now I am pain free almost immediately after taking the supplement.

I tried taking 50mg CQ10 daily after experiencing terrible muscle pains from being prescribed statins. I stopped the statins and the symptoms went, but I found that I experience occasional dizziness now that I just take CQ10. Unfortunately, I will have to stop taking CQ10.
