Anyone reduced their statin intake ?

I’m 70 years old, am not overweight, don’t smoke and eat well. My cholesterol went up to 6.5 so GP wanted me to go on statins. I also have high BP. My cholesterol has gone down to 4.5 after just 6 weeks of taking statins. I want to stop taking them, or at least not every day. Anybody done this?
