I have been on Simvastatin for nearly two months , the first 6 weeks fine, then I felt as if I was on another planet!
Severe headaches, dizziness, neck and leg aches and a horrible consistent buzzing in both ears.I went to my GP , who advised me to come off of Simvastatin for two weeks. Now off of these horrible tablets I am still suffering from slight headaches and achey joints, and as for the buzzing in the ears, its driving me mad. I felt perfectly fine before I took Simvastatin. Will I go back on them ----- I don't think so!!

My experience was longterm bout with severe watery stools, and ringing/buzzing in the ears that still persists after one month. Also lethargy and weakness. I am taking probiotics and acidophilus which is improving my situation. Would never take this drug again. Given it for tooth abscess.

It has helped me a lot reading everyone's experiences with the "dreaded" Simvastatin. I have been off this poisonous drug for 7 weeks, and am still feeling rough, and thinking when is this all going to go away ! My doctor swears blind it is nothing to do with the Simvastatin, but I am a 100% sure it is , as I felt fine before I took these nasty tablets. I still have persistent buzzing in the ears , dizziness, palpitations, constantly tired , and generally feel as if I am on another planet. Ive had blood tests , ecg tests and nothing has been found. Im hoping one morning to wake up feeling "normal". I will never , ever, take Cholesterol drugs again , as I don't want to go through all this again. I really feel for everyone that is suffering, and would be interested if anyone is having the same after affects as myself.
