I am on Plavix synthroid low low on top of a few other. I have thick blood being tested for Lupus these side effects scare.My legs have been cramping and it is getting worse I am tired all the time I have to take a sleeping pill or I will only get 3 to 4 hrs sleep maybe.I can't walk up a flight of steps without stopping to try and relive the pain. I am a flight attendant and I thought it might have been the pressure of the plane but it continued while I was off. In your opinion would you stop taking it if you were on it and had the same side effects
Ah! You are on Synthroid. So you have already been diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
In the medical literature, those with underlying metabolic issues such as hypothyroidism are in the high risk group to develop muscle pain and weakness while taking a cholesterol lowering drug.
I would have a hard tome taking zocor if somebody put a gun to my head and told me to take it. Hmmm...a bullet, or zocor? Let me think... gosh, I'm going down either way.
