I started taking this drug about a year ago, for high cholesterol, I experienced muscle pain, night sweats, and fatigue, I did not associate it to the drug, I am on a cane I thought that was the reason for the arm pain and the other symptoms to menopause. It eventually stopped, but would return. We went on vacation and I forgot my meds and everything subsided, I started taking the Simvastatin when I returned home and my night sweats, fatigue and muscle pain returned. That is when I decided to look it up on line and found this site. I am going to stop taking it for now and see my doctor next week. Thanks for all the info.

Good that you will stop taking this dangerous drug that can cause MANY side effects. Drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM on anti-cholesterol drugs . . . big $$$. In reality, your mind/body needs cholesterol to function. . . DON'T LET YOUR DR. TO CON YOU.

Why do you need to see your doctor? Just stop taking the drug! Your doctor will try to convince you to take different statin. Just say no to all statins!
