54 years old male on zocor (simvastatin) 40mg for 4 years, two years ago I start with problems in my shoulders (feel horrible) arms, hands and legs. Pain, numbness, cramp, tingling, muscle spams and weakness, my body is very weak. I visited several doctors and pain management, therapy, medicine, nerve conduction test, MRI, CTscan, nerve block, carpal tunnel surgery, injection in my cervical and toracic spine I don't feel relief doctors doesn't knows the statin fault. I found this page and I have been off zocor for 4 weeks and not relief yet. Does any one know how long it takes zocor to get completely out of my system?

Pain, numbness, cramps, tingling and muscle spasms are common complaints from statins. The drug can leave your system, but leave damage in its wake. Some people recover from statin poisoning quickly, while others take months to years. A few are left with permanent damage.

Many people respond positively to COQH + Carnitine + B6.B12 and folic acid + Vitamin C, E

I only took Zocor for 6 days and I experienced all the side effects.
I am much better after taking all those .
