Is my statin causing peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (90)Comment receiving replies
I was on Rosuvastatin and was concerned it was causing my neuropathy. My cardiologist switched me to Pravastatin, which he said was less likely to cause a problem. I am only taking 20 mg 3 days a week but am still having tingling and numbness in my feet. Is anyone out there having issues with Pravastatin?

How long have you been off the statin that caused the neuropathy? I’ve been off for 7 weeks (after taking it for 5 1/2 months). My symptoms have lessened maybe 1/3 of what they were……still have 2/3 to go, but the neurologist told me it could take several more months to go away.
Be patient. It could take quite a while.
Best of luck! I know how it feels and it’s no fun!
