Drastic reduction symptoms and conditions

Just one question I have been on this stuff at the beginning dose for less than a week. My eyes hurt, my head is about to explode, I am sick as a dog, I lost 5 pounds, I can't eat, constipated, can't sleep, can't function, ringing in my ears, and the ADD is unbelievable. I am a medical transcriptionist I kind of need to be able to work, no work, no pay. Topamax is going bye-bye for sure but how long till the side effects go away?

Following some careful reading, here's a thought: Perhaps these statins are the opposite of the "Elixir of Youth" and, by preventing the normal body approach to cholesterol, are actually advancing the ageing process! The younger the patient, the more evident the symptoms seem to be, and all the symptoms indicate that a drastic reduction of cholesterol, although protecting the heart in some ways, may be a danger in that it inhibits the CoQ10 process..? Sorry if this is not a new side-effect - rather an interpretation of the various side effects described.
