http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42604 I am 50 years old. Two years ago was diagnosed with very high LDL and low HDL. I told my doctor then that I did not want to go on statin drugs, but 3 months of Niaspan didn't help the cholesterol, and I hated the hot flashes and flushing that could come at Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:52:31 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42604?item=20992 Good that you stopped taking this dangerous drug. Unfortunately, the drs. and the drug co's are doing a SCAM on the anti-cholesterol drugs . . . it is all about $$$, while people suffer. Your mind/body needs cholesterol to function properly. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42604?item=20992 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:24:46 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42604?item=21112 You did the right thing stopping the zocor. Recovery from statin poisoning can take a while. Give it time as LDL cholesterol goes to work repairing the damaged cells. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/42604?item=21112
