I am 60 yr old female that was on lipitor for several years and then changed to zetia and provachol 40 mg. because liver enzyne were elevated. I have been having problems with shoulder pain and also high eye pressure (not glaucoma yet).
My eye pressure has been high since 1997, except for the few months that I wasn't on any medicines for cholestrol.

I have taken parvachol since August 2002.
The dosage began at 40 mg per day, and I didn't have any major side effects. Later the dosage was increased to 80 mg per day with 10 mg of Zetia. I took that dosage for about six months. It has left me completed disabled. I can't walk without extreme pain. My AST went up to 3 times normal and I realize that my liver has been damaged. The cardiologist never agreed to discontinue the drugs. My primary care M.D. did take me off all statins until more research is done to determine if my neuromuscular damage, loss of balance, painful eyes, and inability to walk can be improved. Has anyone else had these serious side effects?
