@kdoll Doctor started me on 40mg. The only problem i have is peeling at night. I go to the bathroom at least 7 times a night. Doctor told me its not the statin. So I stopped taking it for 3 days and use bathroom 2×. He wants me to go to urologist. I know its the statin. Way to strong 40mg. Lower med or change brand??

@livotimarilyn65 Trust your instincts, I think. Our bodies are each unique and could very well be the statin even if that is not a "common" side effect. Lower dose or another brand are good options; so is seeing the urologist. Maybe just do one thing at a time so you can decipher what change helped?
