Simvastatin Migraine, Simvastatin, Withdrawals, Migraines, 3 Years
Posted over a year ago
I have recently started simvastatin 40 mg and I have started suffering severe migraine (which I had very rarely before) that wakes me up at after 3 hours of taking the tablet.
Monico - I had been taking Simvastatin for 3 years, after about 2 years I started waking up in the middle of the night with a migraine. Although I have had migraines in the past, they were never as frequent as they were becoming. Of course my Doctor had no explanation. I finally quit simvastatin a month ago and feel like I'm going through some withdrawals, although I have to say I have not had a middle of the night migraine since I quit.

Valdo - Hello, after about a month of being on 10mg a day I started to experience immense sinus pain and migraines for three weeks straight. The doctor did not put 2 and 2 together and sent me to a neurologist who did an EE scan and prescribed pain meds. After reading these posts I know now that the medication was doing it all along. I quit it entirely and I'm feeling great.
