[QUOTE="Fallgal, post: 726052, member: 92569"] I, too was pushed to go on statins despite my cholesterol being *barely* above the desired range. (It is now well within normal, just a few months later.) I took the script and had it filled, despite my trepidations. I took it for 2 nights and thought I was going to end up in A&E. I was already sick as hell with the Metformin (which took 4 months to settle, despite being on the SR version since Day 1). The statins made me feel like I was derranged. I was dizzy as hell and vomited a couple times. I stopped taking the statins after the 2nd night and told my GP on my next visit. He argued with me and I said I didn't care, that there was no way I was going through what I went through those two nights ever again. He said he'd have to record my refusal on my chart. I said, "Go ahead, Darling. I'll even sign it if you need me to." :) [/QUOTE]
