I was on Vytorin for about 3 years. Originally I was prescribed 40 mg and when my ldl didnt go down enough for the doctor. I was prescribed 80 mg a day about a year and a half ago. A bit of history....I had a heart attack at 33 years of age and at that time was given angioplasty. I am now 44 years old and have not had another attack. I have been having muscle pain for over year, although it feels more like my syatic sp? nerves in my lower back. My knees are so bad that I have been having to wear knee braces periodically and can no longer kneel without falling over in extreme pain. My muscles in my thighs have been deteriorating even though I have been working out with a personal trainer for over a year and my calves were getting huge to compensate. I also went to an eye dr. as I was having trouble reading and driving at night due to blurry vision. They said that I still had 20/20 vision and to start using very light reading glasses when reading and that should help. The last straw was when I was on vacation and had a terrible bout of paranoia. It was so bad that I can't even tell anyone what it was about. Another major effect that I have had over the years from any statin is the fact that my sexual urges are basically non existent.
Now for the good news!!!! In late April, after returning from my vacation, I decided that I wanted to see if the Vytorin/Simvastatin was giving me a majority of these symptoms and decided to quit cold turkey. Well 2 months later I can say that I feel about 90% better. I haven't had to use the reading glasses within 48 hours of stopping (I'm not even sure where they're at now). Within a week I noticed my libido returning and the paranoia completely gone. Within the last 2 weeks I have noticed my thigh muscles coming back and the muscles around my knees getting stronger. I am so thankful that I am returning back to normal!!
I will never, ever take another Statin again!!!!

I had my mirena inserted July 2006. Not noticing any real problems until recently, I have inquired just to be sure. Upon insertion I only had about 10 minutes of pain, and was fine for a while, like almost a year. First, I started getting migraines and had never had one before until 2007. Then fatigue set in. Chronic fatigue, foul smelling discharge, abdominal pain, back pain. Recently there were serious mood swings and they feel uncontrollable, and this is not fair to my husband or daughter. My daughter is three years old and i don't have the energy to play with her or the patience to deal with her. I feel like a failure of a mom because of the mood swings, fatigue, and depression. I have been married for almost 6 years and I have suddenly lost my sexual urges, they just fell off, and the way we were going I thought that that would never happen. But the thing that concerns me the most is the lack of period. I know they say that they will lessen but I haven't had a period since October 2008. Your period is a means of releasing waste, so I have pent up waste not going anywhere. Nausea set in between September and October 2008. I am constantly depressed and stressed for no reason my life is good. My husband has done some research because he said that all of a sudden I wasn't my normal self. I was put on medication for depression and none of the dosages worked, that is sad. We have agreed to have this "thing" removed. I would much rather try some condoms or even get pregnant again than to be a whole new person that I nor anyone else enjoys.
