    <description>Anyone have peripheral neuropathy on Zocor?  I had shooting pains down both arms for a few days one month into taking Zocor.  This stopped but is replaced with intense muscle pain in arms, hands, shoulders and back - and recently hot flashes.  I stopped tak</description>

      <description>I have had idiopathic peripheral neuropathy for over 10 years. I imagine medication has had a contributing effect...possibly blood pressure pills. I am also on Warfarin for 2.5 years which causes neuropathy and started Zocor about a year ago. My neuropathy</description>

      <description>Yes, I had awful neuropathy after being on Zocor for only a month which worsened over this time. Cardiologist said it definitely wasn't the Zocor, just a coincidence. Have many other symptoms mentioned here and am gradually getting better after 3 days off.</description>

      <description>thanks everyone.  Finally, after a couple of months the pain disappeared.  Maybe the chiropractor helped - or maybe it was just time off meds.  Now I'm about to try Lipitor.</description>

      <description>My mom is going through this right now, and her neurologist thinks that the Zocor she was taking is a cause. She started having extreme pain and numbness in her arms and legs a couple of weeks ago. She spent a week and a half in the hospital and it has sti</description>
