Eliquis OR cholesterol med causing muscle weakness, and legs..

I stopped the statin within a few weeks of starting and I noticed the change in muscle weakness within a few days. I wonder if it will take longer to recover if you've taken a statin for months or even years? I realize this is only my experience and everyone is different. Hope you're feeling better soon.

I’ve wondered if the damage to my muscles because I’ve been on both Eliquis and The statin for you and a half Will be permanent…
It’s in 10 days since I stopped the Statin And I don’t see any change, so I’m wondering if it might be the Eliquis that’s causing it.. I don’t want to stay off the step for too much longer because I don’t want my cholesterol to start to get high and I don’t know even when I go back on it how I can determine it is the Eliquis. I really don’t think my cardiologist Wants to take me off at all altogether. I take 20 mg so I’m wondering maybe if I could cut it down to 10 daily.
