Statins
After a first unexpected angina attack was given 20 mg Atoravastatin by hospital. After a follow up at cardiac clinic was told to take 80 mg. Has anyone else suffered side effects from large dose. 80mg made me really ill. Have been reduced to 40 mg but not much better. Ok on 20 mg.

Atorvastatin and anxiety update
I gather that psychiatric symptoms are rare as a side effect to
statins
, although not unheard of according to my GP. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

Over-the-Counter Adrenal Supplements: More Than Meets the Eye
We often see patients with dyslipidemia who prefer RYR to
statins
because it is “natural,” when in reality the active drug that provides benefit (monacolin K) is essentially a statin.

Turmeric
Does anyone know if it's ok to have turmeric and black pepper mix whilst taking Methotrexate, Prednisone, Asprin,
Statins
and Omeprazole? As Tumeric is known to reduce Inflammation. Thank you.

Coincidence you might say well yes that is a possibility also I’ve made an appointment with my doctor as I’ve been off my
statins
and that has also helped yes I know it could be dangerous as they help to lower cholesterol but the reason I made my appointment is my old doctor took me off my old cholesterol

Off Beta Blockers
Been on Metoprolol (beta blocker),
statins
and aspirin since July 2018. Had 1 stent fitted end of August 2018. Then on the clopidogrel as well. All pretty good since then. Saw surgeon in Dec and he advised coming off the metoprolol as my BP was surprisingly low.

The Challenge of Finding the 'Best' Diet - Vegan or .... ??
I know my cholesterol is up but have refused
statins
for the possible side effects which have been discussed here and then there is of course blood pressure which is linked to diet as well - while not eating much salt can help some people at least.

Hypo question
If this is the case, would i be correct in thinking an increase in Levothyroxine would have being more suitable than
statins
& Ramipril?

Statins & ADT.
Conclusion The use of
statins
in men on ADT for CaP is associated with improved CSS and OS.
Statins
are inexpensive, well-tolerated medications that offer a promising adjunct to ADT, but require further prospective studies.

Iron supplements and ferritin levels
Prior to switching to a new doctor, due to moving out of state, I weaned myself off all my meds (
statins
, Tramadol for a back injury, etc) other than a thyroid pill I desperately need, to get a fresh start from someone new. I thought I could control my back pain with just OTC drugs.

Big Pharma Spends $20B Annually to Influence MDs
Statins
are effective but dangerous. Vitamins D and K and a couple of minerals improve bone strength, reduce fracture risk and prevent hardening of the arteries. In so doing they result in better outcomes than both bisphosphonates and
statins
. Other hazardous meds and how you can protect yourself.

What Brand Of Statin Are You Prescribed?
I understand that the NHS has approved at least five
statins
for prescription; Lipitor, Lescol, Lipostat, Crestor, and Zocor. However, the only brand I hear actually being prescribed is Lipitor, a member of the "atorvastatin" family of
statins
.

First Endo meeting - Results in
He makes numerous references to my weight and mentions
statins
twice. The thyroid blood test he took was early afternoon, so irrelevant to me as I ensure mine are always early morning etc. It came back with a TSH of 2, but it would have been higher in the morning.

Stents
My husband, who is 47, has just been diagnosed with a couple of clogged arteries, has been put on
statins
, blood thinning drugs and will have to have a couple of stents fitted. This has come as a massive shock to us.
