Coming Off Statins - Update - October 17, 2017 blood work
It has now been a full year since I not only stopped my statin medication (Crestor 30 mg/day) but all cardiac medicines completely. The process of weaning took 10 months from January of 2016 to October of 2016. My bypass surgery was March of 2015.
Coming Off Statins - Update 2017-02-21
I weaned off of a 30 mg dosage of Crestor between February and October of 2016. My last dose of Crestor was 5 mg in mid-October, 2016.
I just had my blood test yesterday.
