Important information about statins that I’m going to ask my doc about

@amberpep Thats interesting I used to take simvastatin year's ago and it might explain my memory issues I've had. I take Atorvastatin now and my numbers are much better, actually better than they have been in years. Thanks for the information. I wonder if the memory issues recover. I can say that I had one issue back then that bothered me I could not remember one of my grandchildren's names. It did come back to me but maybe it was when I was on the other statin.
Have a Blessed Day

Hi Dana .... It is nerve wracking and scary when you can't remember things like that .... my most difficult seems to be the last 4 numbers of my phone number, which I've had for over 18 years! I see my doctor this coming Friday and I'm going to tell him that I want to get off of them. The article I read said to reduce it with your doctors guidance, so I'll do that. If it were any longer than another week, I'd call him and get his advice over the phone. I want to try this without statins first, just by eating differently. I admit I have a sweet tooth, and I know all that has fat, etc. in it.

Interesting discussion. I am on an anticoagulant & Astrovastin.
Since both are prescribed to reduce stroke & heart attack, why take both? With all the downside on satins, could one just drop it, rely on Xarelto for adequate protection?
