I'am 45 year old female and I have been on simvastatin 40mg for at least 6 months. Here in the past 3 weeks I have had very weak legs and arms,they felt like they were wet noodles. I also was getting these week spells where it felt like I couldn't lift my arms or legs cause they was so weak.I had pain in my ear and big bad headaches that wouldn't leave. My heart feels like it skips a beat and I get very bad anxiety attacks. I have been to the ER several times and they can not find anything wrong. I even got very dizzy. The ER doctor told me that the dizziness and headaches was from a inter ear disturbance,well I think the inter ear disturbance might have come from the simvastatin after running across this web site. I'm going off the simvastatin tomorrow! Oh yeah and forgot to mention the weight gain and the tiredness and how I feel like a couch zombie. I think I'll stick to my salmon oil.

I too took Zocor/Simvastatin 40 mg. for over 10 years. Through the years the doctors have tried to switch as new poisons came onto the market and they had tons of them in their "sample rooms". Twice I ended up in the ER thinking I was about to die. All the fancy tests and all the $$ later, I was always given the simplest of explanations: pulled back muscle, can't find anything, yet here I was in dire pain, heart racing, b.p. through the clouds. On my own each time I quit the statin drug, within 1-2 days I was fine. Well all these years later I finally found the solution and it is a natural one at that. It not only lowers LDL, it raises HDL by up to 29%. It lowers blood sugar levels thereby decreasing food cravings, and helps the body to stop storing fat and to use that fat for energy,giving me my energy back. I am off of statin drugs, have fabulous blood work, and have lost 17 pounds and over 21 inches overall. All this and it was done using a totally natural product, no stimulants and all since July 9th 2008. This product is called Bioslife Slim and since it made such a profound change in my life I became a franchise owner. This is no bunk. I would scream it from the rooftops if I could.

Good on you and check simvastatin and lipitor on this site, all statin meds.
I've had all your effects and more so you probably can be sure your problems are from this poison. I am sickened at my stage of life, mid 50s that I no longer readily trust the medical profession, but I trust a criminal that has mended his ways - this scenario simply does not please me. Best to you from New Zealand.
