I am 55 yr old male with high BP, Some joint degeneration, high cholesterol. I have been on Zocor for 40 plus days. When I first started taking it, within hours of dosage I had mild headache, sinus stuffiness. Within days I had higher energy levels, less joint pain, and sleep better. My physical stamina has increased and I am able to be much more active with less physical stress and faster subsequent recovery. Follow up tests show my cholesterol dropped from 230 to 160. Continuing adverse side effects are mild burning sensation in back of throat about 1 hour after dosage and lasting about an hour. Change in taste. Both of these I can live with given the positive side effects and intended effect. Follow up tests have so far shown no impariment in liver function.

I was diagnosed with adult allergic asthma one year ago at 38 years old. I started having problems breathing ONLY AT NIGHT on occasion and palpitations. Had a physical and ekg, totally normal. Went to allergist and they said I have alot of allergies and diagnosed me with the asthma. Funny thing, weeks before I biked 20 miles, hiked 12 miles, canoed 3 miles, played golf in a 3 day span and no problems. Since they told me this and started me on advair 250/50 I haven't been able to jog more than 2 miles or bike more than 8 to 10. Its very strange indeed, I have gotten more paranoid feelings when just get a little out of breath, and sometimes cant keep still in a car or sitting down. I cut back on sugar, sodium and started exercising a little every day, only 15 minutes and felt better. But came down with a cold recently and back to square one. I am trying to take the advair only ONCE a day instead of twice and almost feel withdrawal symptoms like shakiness, paranoia, irritability. I do have higher blood pressure than I should. Does anyone have any idea about this? I am really confused! Thanks... J
