Zocor and constipation

Just started taking zocor 3 weeks ago. I have noticed some of the symptoms listed by others. I am having trouble with constipation. Now my hemorrhoids are flaring up. My whole bottom is hurting. I also am having charley horses in my legs. I haven't had this problem for years. Has anyone noticed these problems?

I have been taking Lipex (Simvastatin) for 6 months. During this time I have been experiencing an enormous amount of gas, cramps, constipation, headaches, blurred vision and an itching rash. Three weeks ago after looking up the side effects on the internet and finding these symptoms listed - I stopped taking the pill. My health has improved dramatically.

I have been on this crap for a year and suffered severe short term memory loss and constipation!
Two weeks ago I thru it in the garbage and already there is an improvement!
I thought Doctors were suppose to help you>?????????????

I read that zocor can affect lab values in thryoid function test. I am not sure if it is the zocor but ever since I have been on zocor sinc this past november my TSH levels have gone as low as 0.02 and are now as high as 31.4
The doctor assured me it isn't the zocor just my thyroid acting up. We have decreased my dosage of synthoid. I have an appointment with him in a couple of days and I will bring this up. I was wondering does Lipitor have the same side affect on Thyroid functions as I read zocor does and how does it affect the thryoid? I feel fine other than slight constipation
