Statin discontinued due to neuropathy. What are some alternatives?

Do you have hypercholesterolemia? That is the only thing that would seem to justify a maximum statin dose. Have you tried some of the newer non statin meds such as repatha? Could be something you would like to discuss with your cardiologist.

I don’t have hypercholesteremia. discontinued Atorvastatin 40 mg after taking it for 20 plus years because I felt it might be causing the neuropathy. No improvement in neuropathy but not worse.
Began Red yeast rice about two years ago. Cardiologist is fine with results. Not quite 100 ldl but close.
