[QUOTE="chris lowe, post: 784512"] I started taking them about 5 years ago - Simvastin 20mg - and I have had no problems. My cholesterol is down to 3.5 from 6.9. I do get the occasional night cramp, but I got cramp before I started taking them and it's not a regular thing. I've had restless legs for as long as I can remember which normally starts when I settle down on the sofa for the evening. I put up with it until about an hour before bed then take amitrypiline which means by the time I get to bed it normally eases off & I can get off to sleep. As I said, I get no side effects like those mentioned in other posts. yet my brother wasn't able to tolerate them so we're all different and get affected in different ways. I had more memory problems when I was at work which was due to the fact I was continually stressed out, than I do now with the statins. [/QUOTE]
