    Call me crazy, but I took it twice, and both times had the worst gall bladder attack ever. Anyone else? Published: October 28, 2007 ::

    After taking this drug for over 2 yrs, suddenly my CPK levels are thru the roof and I had to immediately stop taking the drug cold turkey. I am NOW experiencing the muscle aches that some experience when first taking any cholesterol medicine. Prior to that, no side effects at all. Published: May 29, 2008 ::

    The third time I took my dose of Lescol I could feel its effect through my whole body and about ten minutes later I felt I could jump out of my skin. I won't take anymore! Published: December 04, 2007 ::

    Comment from: HERicci, 75 or over Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

    Been on this med for about three years. Went on it after Lescol crippled me as it had everybody I talked to who had been on it. Crestor was next, but it also started to bother my muscles and joints. No such problems at all with Lescol, but it is not as effective as Lipitor but I find it satisfactory. My cholesterolis now maintaining in the acceptable range. I intend to stay on my 40mg/day regimen. Published: May 13, 2009 ::
