I am a 68 year old male and am now on 40 mg. of Zocor for 4 weeks. I have never been on any Rx medications since I have always been in excellent health. My annual physicals have always been perfect except for elevated chlosterol (237). My doctor put me on Zorcor 5/9. Now my ears ring,neck hurts, tenderness of skin, tired all the time, hard to sleep, vision problems, headaches, and outlook on life is not as it was.
I am stopping Zorcor now. I plan to pursue a natural method of lowering my chlosretol. Diet change, excercise (treadmill) and a product put out by Twinlab (non-Rx). If this doesn't work, at least I won't hurt so much and can again enjoy life as I was before taking Zorcor.

I started Zocor 3 days ago and I could tell the second day that something was not right. I have had a headache for two days, my leg hurt last night so bad that it was a pain to walk, I have had a funny taste in my mouth, my muscles ache, my ears ring worse than they normally do, my fingers and my toes hurt, I feel like I am in a daze, I have had crazy dreams the last two nights, and I am tired. Now I did not get these things after I read about them on this site. I found this site when I started looking to see if anyone was getting side effects from Zocor. I have never been on any daily medication before and I will not continue to take this drug to see if these things subside. I've had high Cholesterol for the last 20 years, that I know of, and I will take my chances with some kind of natural approach. I'm sure God has provided us with a natural solution. Tom
