Has anyone else had rare reactions to statins?

Thanks. I appreciate your input.
Don’t you consider depression a cognitive effect?
Your description of Repatha is a lot like how it affected me. I got light-headed and fell repeatedly, so it was dangerous. And over time that got worse. When I detoxed from Repatha,, I was fine.
Since the strange, new “scatter-brain” experience on Leqvio, I am starting to think that my brain needs the higher LDL number to work right. Does that sound crazy? Or maybe it’s just that I am not adjusted yet.

@tatiana987 Yes, you are right, depression is a cognitive effect. So no cognitive effects, including no depression on Leqvio. How low did your LDL go on Leqvio? I will be curious to see what happens to mine, I get a test in 3 weeks. My LDL on Repatha dropped to 54. Your theory sounds interesting, I will be curious to see how I am after the next shot. Glad that that effect went away for you, or is it still there a bit? Diet makes little difference for me, I eat a mostly vegan diet and get lots of exercise. It is all a bit much really, but we need to keep trudging on, LOL
