Re: Simvastatins (40MG) side affects.

Okay as many of you know I was prescribed Simvastatins at 40mg at almost a month ago.

I have a check up tomorrow about other stuff (women stuff) lol, but am going to bring up about some concerns of mine.

I recall one some saying about cramps, but cannot remember who.
In the last week I have noticed painful legs (back of my legs), does this side effect ring the bell?
It's more like a nagging dull ache? (I stopped taking them tonight) cos the ache is doing my head in.

I am very exhausted on them as well and now have a bad habit of just drifting off to sleep.

So I do think this is important to mention.

I was informed of another statin by one or 3 of you and cannot recall the name of it now, but did write it somewhere, but put it too safe, so would also like to see about this with my doc at my appointment.

Thank you folks x

Could have been me di I know we talk medical a lot!

Rosuvastatin is that what your thinking of? Are you by chance eating a diet of high citrus or bran at the minute? that can have adverse issues with any Statin.

All the side effects are on the page Di, if you go to the list of statins I just added that will give you the side effects for each.
