[QUOTE="Virgo123, post: 326306, member: 50598"] I was on simvastatin when first diagnosed. I stopped taking it after I was told by someone else that it slows you down and its cognitive. I experienced those symptoms and immediately stopped taking it. I felt the difference almost immed, and felt even better 3 months later. I was on it for about 6 months. My GP is also great but he is 'statin happy' and not pleased that I told him outright that I wont take it. I dont feel obliged to take a script from him, I just told him an emphatic NO! He suggested a different one, and I just refused. Why must I take something that MIGHT prevent a heart attack, that make me feel like 'death warmed up' daily. No, Im interested in feeling good today and every day instead of worying about what MIGHT happen in 10yrs. What is wrong with doctors. Do they lack common sense.... [/QUOTE]
