How long did you take a statin before feeling side effects?

Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin, and now Praluent . The first two resulted in really bad muscle and joint side effects, to the point where I couldn't hardly walk. I seemed to be tolerating Praluent, but shortly after my last injection I came down with a headache and changes in my vision. Has anyone else experienced this kind of reaction from Praluent?

Sounds very similar to my experience. I have tried all three and Praluent turned out to be the worst by far. I ended up in urgent care because of the horrible exhaustion. It’s been 6-7 weeks since my last injection and I’m just starting to feel normal again. Everyone is different but I find it hard to believe that there is a statin without side effects if you have had bad experiences with 3 different medications. I have a healthy diet and can keep my LDL under 100 without statins, so I’d rather roll the dice than go back to any medications.
