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...

Tough to tell if there is really any link to CD4 count and COQ10 but I think that overall it keeps me in generally good health, no colds too! Overall it seems to add to my well being. I ususally buy a good brand on sale or the std "sam's club" vitamins as they have some type of gov't approval. Watch your labels.

Statin poisoning related to high CK levels (1850) 300 Mg gaily seems to have helped with muscle spasms and pain. CK levels have dropped to around 250 .

I started taking Lipitor for my cholesterol. Shortly thereafter, I developed muscle pains in my legs and the Dr. told me to start taking Co Q 10. The pain cleared up almost immediately. I take 100 mg by Finest available at Walgreens.

I started taking co-enzyme Q10 for severe statin-related muscle pain that my doctor could not resolve. It worked very well indeed. But my dentist also commented several weeks later that my gums had never been better in the 30 years he had been treating me. It also solved some statin-induced myopathy I had noticed. Looks like I'm an example of someone who is normally borderline CO Q10 deficient - the statins pushed me into deficiency - COQ10 supplements definitely work for me.

It is difficult to decide how well this supplement works. I have been taking it for 3 years everyday along with my other meds and I can't say that it has made a significant change in my health but I'm not going to stop taking to find out.

I have been taking Ubiguinol(Kaneka QH)for my muscle weakness and pain. This specific type of Ubiguinol has relieved all my symptoms. I started at 50mg with no change then to 100mgs with significate relief. I believe the initial problem started because of a statin drug I was taking and I assumed if I stopped taking the statin the muscle pain and weakness would stop but it didn't. As this was unusal I researched looking for anything I could do to relieve the muscle problem and Ubiquinol(Kaneka QH) worked. I since have talked to my doctor and was recommended I increase the dose to 200mgs as I am going to try another statin drug for my high cholesterol. I am also having additional testing for any other condition that may have caused the muscle pain and weakness after stopping the statin. I hope this information might help someone else considering Ubiquinol (Kaneka QH). Do the reshearch for yourself. Read More Read Less

I started taking CoQ10 to control my chronic migraines, as well as b2 and magnesium. the combo of the vitamins worked better than the prescriptions i was on, plus i had more energy. it can get expensive, but in the long run, it's better. i'm almost off the prescriptions now, and I've gone from headaches every day to headaches 1 week a month.

I have OPMD as will as RLS. This keeps me from twitching so much at night when sleeping and keeps the muscle twitching/spasms down during the day. This brand seems to work best for me 1, pill at meal time. I know that this has a positive effect on me as my wife can tell (with in a few days) if I stop taking it.

I have been usig co-q10 for about a year now. I think that it has helped in combination with other supplement and medication to lower my number of headaches. I have not had any adverse side effects. However, it can be very expensive.

I have taken 100 mg of CoQ10 twice a day with meals for over a month. My blood pressure has gone down, I have more energy, no more headaches and I just feel a lot better. I also have hypothyrodism which I've dealt with for years and I'm not sure yet what effect CQ has on that, if any. I think it's great, depending on the Brand you get.

I have major depression and chronic fatigue and very high tryglicerides. My doctor put me on 150mg. of Co-Q10 and I am having all the negative side effects on the side effects page. I really feel terrible. Possibly a lower dosage is needed. I will contact my Doctor.
