I took my first dose 100 just last night. I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy from taking statin, Rosuvastatin. My symptoms have started getting better since discontinuing the statin 6 wks ago. The neurologist suggest I take a very low dose at night to help me sleep without tingling of my fingers and toes. I must say it worked!

I am hoping that it continues to work for you and you do not have to increase dosage. There are side effects from any drug, my opinion. I am taking Rosuvastatin 20mg, have been for years. My dr. never addressed the fact that my neuropothy could be from the statin. I will bring it up to her next appt. I am not sure what type of neuropothy I have. How do you know that you have small fiber neuropothy? I have not been able to find a good, caring, neurologist who listens and answers questions, so the layman can understand. I will continue the hunt. Thank You
