I am a 68 year old male and am now on 40 mg. of Zocor for 4 weeks. I have never been on any Rx medications since I have always been in excellent health. My annual physicals have always been perfect except for elevated chlosterol (237). My doctor put me on Zorcor 5/9. Now my ears ring,neck hurts, tenderness of skin, tired all the time, hard to sleep, vision problems, headaches, and outlook on life is not as it was. I am stopping Zorcor now. I plan to pursue a natural method of lowering my chlosretol. Diet change, excercise (treadmill) and a product put out by Twinlab (non-Rx). If this doesn't work, at least I won't hurt so much and can again enjoy life as I was before taking Zorcor. Dowhatworks
