Took 1 dose. Within hours, I awoke with a very dry mouth and severe heartburn. Went to the kitchen for water and nearly passed out. Nausea, so I made it to the bathroom. Cold sweats, then chills. Felt like I had the flu. Every time I stood up, I nearly passed out and kept having same symptoms most of the night. Next day, at work, I had to be taken to the nurse, who figured out that my already low blood pressure was dropping dramatically when I stood up (as well as my pulse rate increasing). I threw up all over the doctor's bathroom. Still feel awful 3 days later. Dr. pretty much indicated that blood pressure drop couldn't have been from the Crestor, although my father has had same thing happen with EVERY statin they've put him on. Now, my leg aches and my urine is dark

Today is a good day to start looking for a new doctor.

Aching legs and dark tea colored urine is an indication of muscle breakdown and could be very serious. I certainly hope you are not still taking crestor. If your doctor was treating you with crestor to save your life, I am sorry to report that a recent trial shows no more longevity with crestor than a placebo. I will post the link, and if the link gets deleted, Goggle: "Astra's Crestor Fails" and you will find the articles. Bobby
