Here you go. Copy/pasted

“Potential side effect
Statins, including rosuvastatin, can increase the risk of peripheral neuropathy, especially with long-term use. In one study, 66% of patients taking rosuvastatin or atorvastatin for hypercholesterolemia developed peripheral neuropathy. The risk of neuropathy increased with the duration of treatment.
Talk to your doctor
If you develop neuropathy symptoms while taking statins, you should talk to your doctor. They may reconsider your use of statins.”

In that particular study, they considered long-term use one year!!!
