Thanks for posting this. I’m on Amlodipine one of the blood pressure drugs mentioned that clash badly with Simvaststin. Another string to my bow for my next ‘statin convo’ with my GP!

You will probably know more about statins than your doctor does... :)

A car hurtling through space with a dummy behind the wheel listening to David Bowie.
None of us could have seen that coming!

If you suffer with fatty liver (or most liver disorders) ANY drug absorbs differently. Also diabetics can get slow digestion from nerve damage so this interfere with absorption, in some.
Not just Statins.

Rampril gave me a terrible cough, didn't stay on it long. A colleague at work also had a hacking cough so I asked him if he was taking it, the answer was yes. Told him to go to GP and get it changed.

I'm allergic to ACE inhibitors so can't take ramipril - I found out the hard way!

Blacking out is seriously risky, not in itself but as regards what you may hit on the way down. I once fainted and hit the side of my face on a wash basin. I was wearing metal framed spectacles, and they cut in to my face millimetres from my eye. I ended up with a black eye, and damaged almost new spectacles, but I could have been blinded. The actual experience of fainting was odd, as you say, but not unpleasant. I would advise anyone who feels they may be about to black out to get down flat on the ground asap. This will bring you round and also avoid damage.
