I am having more hair loss since taking Zocor 40 mg. Has anyone else had the side effect?

I am a 46 old black male, I have been on Zocor for three years now, after taking Zocor I have suffer a tremendous hair loss. I had a full head of hair before I started taking the medicine and now my hair has thinned out very badly in the top and the back of my head. I still have hair folicles in those areas but it look bald. I have been lifting weights, eating good meals and exercising to overcome my cholesterol problem. I hope I will not loose any more hair.

I am 48 yrs old, invery good health, very active in sports, I run 3 times a week, exercise, and eat healthy. I have been on Zorcor for 2years now. I have been experiencing muscle pain in between my left shoulder and elbow for about 6 months now. I have gone to my doctor and he has treated it as bercitus. He percribed physical theropy treatment... a month has gone by and no changes. So I tried a chiropractor, it's been 2 weeks and no changes... so that promted me to check the internet for possible side effects and I came across this website....and I can't believe all the emails I'm reading on the side effects other people are experiencing! I also am experiencing other side effects that I thought were not related and now I believe they are, AFTER READING THIS! Beside the muscle pain in my upper arm , I am experiencing:::: hair loss, leg cramps, memory loss, ability to communicate, pronounce words, forgetting, depression, blurred vision, hot flashes(thought that was because of menopause! and could very well be!) I take 40 mg a day, it the evening. IS IT OK TO JUST STOP TAKING THIS DRUG SINCE I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR OVER 2 YEARS?
