Deep throat symptoms and conditions

Hi and please feel free to email me. I was on Lipitor for quite a while (20mg)without any issues. Due to insurance etc I was switched to 40mg of simvastatin-(Zocor-generic)--with in a short time i noticed i was waking nearly every morning with a mouth full of junk requiring a deep throat clearing. Then a low level sore throat that persisted for more than two weeks. I went to my doctor who agreed that it may be related (though I think she doubted it) and had me stop. Now i have been off for 5 days and still my throat is sore (though not sore to swallow) and mouth generally feels "messed up".

If any of you have had any sore throat experiences etc please let me know. Also how long did your side effects last once you came off the drug?

I've been on Hydrochlorothiazide for hypertension and it didn't get the numbers down low enough, so my doctor added Lisinopril. I have had the deep throat irritation and cough for weeks. I happened to forget to take my meds this morning and didn't remember until I was on the bus going to work. I'm now about four hours late for my meds and the cough has nearly disappeared. I will definitely not continue to take the drug.
