This is my second post on this subject. The short story is I had a stroke at 43 years old, doctor prescribed Zocor to me, 90 percent of side affects posted here. I went back to the doctors afraid I was going to get the treatment from mmy doctor that most others got "your crazy, and it's psycholog". To my surprise the doctor knew exactly what I was going through with the only information that I was on Zocor. The doctor was aware of the undocumented side affects and told me stop taking it immediately. She prescribed Lipitor and so far so good. Most of the side affects have gone, the foggy head totally gone. The doctor said I was lucky to be recovering so quickly as most take months and some times years from the damage of Zocor. The longer you take it the longer the recovery time which makes sense. The doctor said that Zocor is cheap and highly dangerous. I urge anyone coming across this website to see your doctor for a medication change ASAP. I will post again in six months and give an update.

To Kevin and all the others.

It doesn`t matter if you are on Zocor or Lipitor or any of the ot her statins.

They all have similar side effects. They all can cause permanent damange to your body.

The side effects can come right way (lucky you) or after years.

Therefore when you reading messages please also read those for other statins - including those for Lipitor.

But the most important of all is to educate yourself in the cholesterol issue.

Are you sure that it`s the high cholesterol that will cause heart problems?

Please visit www.ravnskov.nu and www.thincs.org and read some of the books that I have suggested in an earlier message.
