[QUOTE="Ka-Mon, post: 195902, member: 27697"] I am on different meds for different medical conditions that I can't stop taking and when I was prescribed Simvastatin I immediately started having side effects. To find out if the side effects was in fact from the statins, I experimented by stopping them and felt better straight away. Just to make sure, I then took them again for a couple of days and the side effects returned. I went back to my GP and although I could see in his facial expression that he was not very pleased that I experimented without consulting him, he changed the Simvastatin to Rosuvastatin, I've had no side effects since. I have an excellent GP who listens and cares but I would still not advice anyone to experiment without consulting their GPs on any meds. [/QUOTE]
