Were you taking the COQ10 when you were taking the statin ? I stopped the statin because of all the problems....I bought some COQ10 from Cosco - I haven't started taking it but that is my New Years Resolution to start taking it and see if I can manage mine without the GP's input because they just want to push their drugs and I know there are so many side effects to these drugs...

I can’t take statins or Repatha due to extreme side effects. I tried CoQ10. Had the same side effects. I was told it was essentially the same as a statin. I was hoping I could tolerate it, but couldn’t. You’re right, my doctor totally denies the value of anything but statins. And, has an attitude that I somehow fail if I don’t take statins. He literally said “if you don’t take these medications I have nothing for you.”
