Good that you stop taking this POISON. I did "cold turkey" . Drs. are so drug-happy . . .when I told my dr. that I stopped taking Lipitor and the many side effects that I still have . . .he wanted me to take another statin! Needless to say, I changed drs. . . .DON'T LET YOUR DR. TO CON YOU. Your mind/body needs cholesterol to function properly.
You are not crazy. You have just been a customer/victim like many of us.
Eight years on statins? Lets do the math.
Average cost of statin treatment = $100/month Paid out between customer and insurance company)
Thats $1,200 per year x 8 years = $9,600 total gross sales. And thats from just one customer.
No wonder the drug companies can afford to pamper physicians with exotic trips to resorts, buy them golf, massages, and give them gifts.
You don't suppose the relationship is between the drug companies and the physicians do you? Certainly the patients needs come first... don't they?
