Statin discontinued due to neuropathy. What are some alternatives?
Neuropathy | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (373)Comment receiving replies
I'm on my third statin due to the usual side effects that some experience, muscle aches and weakness and fatigue. On the 3rd attempt we started low and slow i am taking a low dose statin(rosuvastatin) 3x weekly. This has lowered LDL to less than 70 with fewer side effects that are tolerable.

@tim1028- Tim, I've been on 3 so far and my issues were more of a neuropathy numbness in my feet when I walked. I was on 40 mg of those. I recently started the Rosuvastatin at 20 mg and have very minimal numbness and my LDL fropped from 78 to 62 and triglyrcerides were down to 115. Very happy with this statin so far! Jim@thankful
