3 weeks ago switch from 40mg atorvastatin to 20mg rosuvastatin because of some muscle aches and pains. Initially good but last week or so increasing pain in legs (shins, calves and thighs), which keep me awake, and feeling weak and wobbly. Check patient leaflet which says to stop taking rosuvastatin and contact gp immediately. Didn't take last night's dose and rang this morning. Got text later in morning to say been triaged by gp and booked in for clinician review next week but nothing about what to do in meantime 🙄. Tempted to give it a few days off to see if muscle/joint pain eases and perhaps go back on to atorvastatin as was nowhere near as bad.
Flipping drugs, I know I need them.. it's just getting the blend/dosage right.
