Statin discontinued due to neuropathy. What are some alternatives?

After several unsuccessful Statin prescriptions, my PCP suggested Red Yeast Rice 600mg capsules which I purchased at Sam's Club.

My LDL cholesterol was reduced from 110 to 90 after 30 days and I continue taking it until I achieve a 70 LDL reading.
Having 2 stents in the LCA is reason for the lower goal.

Hi, @kazz30 - when you say your statin prescriptions were unsuccessful, do you mean at lowering your LDL? Have you experienced any side effects with the red yeast rice capsules?
