Many people have bad reactions to statins, especially in the form of muscular pain, but there are many other side effects. It turns out my family is allergic to statins; my brother's doctor forced him to try some and it amost killed him. It was probably an actual reaction you had and not anxiety. BTW, if you can't take one statin, you can't take any, so if your doctor wants you to try a different one, that's probably not a good idea. Do your research on statins. Millions of people take them with no problems but many people cannot.
