Has anyone had any specific issues when stopping creator? I stopped because of severe joint pain and now I am having muscle pain dizziness weak arms and legs and headaches. Anyone know how long this will last? It is making my anxiety 10 times worse. Thank you!

The other side effects you are experiencing could be the on going residual effects of creator.Agree with Traci about seeing GO or pharmacist to find out whether this is one of the side effects associated with creator.Having stopped creator you may find that things improve once the drug is out of your system.

Thank both for responding I did see my doctor yesterday and she agreed that it could be the crestor and I may be experiencing a myalgia from it. She didn't give me any time frames on how long this will last. It seems to move around this morning my painful hamstrings seem fine but now it's in my stomach and back . This is really no fun. I am a realtor and can't make any money on my couch :) thanks again!

if I may add to try to follow a good and constant intake of proteins, vitamins, fibres and minerals through balanced DIET . I think you should Not stop this medication abruptly only if your GP has advise you to do so
