I was prescribed Simvastatin four days ago, against my wishes, as I had heard about the side effects of muscle pain and numbness in the joints and feet. However, what I had not expected were the terrible nightmarish dreams that followed. On the fourth night I stopped taking Simvastin as I was literally too afraid to go to sleep. I then slept fitfully but did not experience the vivid and disturbing dreams of the previous three nights. I shall ask my doctor for alternative medication. If she cannot offer me anything other than statins, I shall stick to Benecol and research further! Jacqui M.
