I keep getting horrible headaches, mostly at the back of my head. And I'm always so tired! Thing is, I have familial high cholesterol that nothing but statins will bring down. I'm very active and have a low cholesterol diet, but still aged 20 my cholesterol was 11 until I started the statins. So my doctor definitely advises against stopping. He's a consultant at a lipid clinic.
What's the worst that could happen if I stopped taking them?! I really don't want to, but there hasn't been anything else that's helped.
Atorvastatin can be aggressive it caused me liver problems! After that my cardiologist suggested Rusavastatin which was started 5mg every other day working up to 10mg per day without side effects. Ask your GP.
Agree with this Mike im on rosuvastatin on 10mg a day no side effects what so ever so go back to your doctors Kcore and ask for them hope it helps
Mike,
You are right. As widely and successfully as Atorvastatin is, it is known to cause liver issues. Great that you found a better alternative.
