55 yo male. I started Vytorin (20mg zocor) in Jan of 2007 until May of 2007. I lowered the dose to 10mg in March but am still suffering side effects (3/29/08) It did lower my cholesterol dramatically but at what price? I began having tingling/burning in my feet and shins. Also, muscle pains in my calves and something like shin splints. I had been very active but have not fully recovered. B-12, methylcobalimin, has helped the tingling. I was taking as much as 10mg per day. Also, L-carnitine for the muscles, CoQ10, and Ribose. I do feel like I am gradually improving. The tingling is much less but my legs are weaker than before.
