hi im 62 woman been on simvastatin for over 3 years and i have acute pain in my right side upper stomach also pain in my thumbs (diagnosed as gout but blood test showed it wasn't)bad taste in the mouth and visit the loo about 6 times a day recently lost a loved one but my mind feels numb and im depressed most days (NOT LIKE I USED TO BE)after reading this sites letters im off the simvastatin for good as i now know whats wrong with me THANKS.......................

I have been taking simvastatin since June 28, 2008. I am 44 years old and have always been majorly active with my 17 year old daughter. Recently I have become chronically fatigued so much as to want to go back to bed within 2-3 hours after I get up in the morning, (definitely not me). I have felt spaced out,depressed to the point of wanting to cry all the time, have severe back, hip, knee, leg, and hand pain. I go to pain management for my back and hip problems (past surgery), but the usual pain has been intensified over the last 2 months and I wasn't sure why, until i decided to check out the Simvastatin to see if it has made me put on a few pounds, and boy have my eyes been opened!!!!!!!!! I AM STOPPING THE MEDICATION IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to all who have spoken up, I wish I would of checked on this sooner!!!!! I'm calling my Dr. first thing in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!
