Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?

Big B;
I read an article from info. on natural cures about a fruit called
Citrus Bergamot. It's a fruit grown in Spin, it's about the size of a lime but the color of a lemon. Anyways it's available as a supplement that supposedly will replace all and any Cholesterol medications with absolutely NO side effects.
I asked my doctor if she could get me a prescription for it but she told that I would have to see a Naturopathic doctor because a regular doctor can or aren't allowed to prescribe supplements. I think it's cause the big Farma has full control.
So I was just checking to see if anyone here has heard of this Citrus Burgamot and if you've ever tried it .
I've been on Atorvastatin for 5 years now and I don't like all the bad things it does to our bodies. I mean its bad enough getting old let alone having to deal with neuropathy, muscle pain and everything else that comes with it . Believe me if I could afford it I would get all my medications through Naturopathic doctor. All your stories and info. are greatly appreciated, thank you in advance for your response.
Big B.

Easy enough to buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Citrus-Bergamot-Capsules-200mg/dp/B0CCT1381Z. Whether it helps to lower cholesterol, I have no clue. I take a different one that has Bergamot in it but cholesterol was not a high point in my last physical.

A doctor can suggest supplements but can't prescribe them because supplements aren't regulated by the FDA. They are not prescription medications and aren't tested. Big Pharma is not involved.

I don’t think citrus bergamot can replace a statin but I do think it can add to the effectiveness of whatever you are taking.. ie red yeast rice( which I take) or a statin
