I was prescribed Zocor approximately 1 month ago. I began taking...

I get very sad when I read all these stories.

Sad because people have to suffer and are so gullible to the scares about high cholesterol etc. that the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors spread.

I have never taken any statins - nor would I - if someone should say that my cholesterol is too high.

I have seen the consequences of this type of medication (as well as others) in people near me.

That`s why I started to look for information.

I would suggest that you don´t just look for information about Zocor (=Simvastatin).

The side effects for all statins are similar.

Go to the Lipitor-messages.

There are som suggestions about taking Q10 to decrease the problems of side effects.

Have you ever asked your doctor about risks/benefits with this type of medications?

How many people have to take a statin - for how many years - to prevent one single death?

When it comes to side effects there are many different reasons why you suffer more or less.

Your age, your sex, your physical condition, other diseases and medictions etc.

Are you sure that high cholesterol is the cause of heart disease?

After having read a lot of books - I have a different opinion.
