What statin (if any) have you taken long term?

I took Lipitor and my legs ached. My doctor prescribed pravastatin bc she amongst her patients it was the most tolerable. I had a few symptoms Tamar disappeared after a couple of weeks. It’s been 2 months now and so far so good. Who knows though. So much controversy.

Actually, from what I can tell, swilkins, the controversy is between 99.9% of medical professionals and those non-medical professionals who believe statins are a plot by large pharmaceutical companies to get rich.
This isn't the forum for further discussion on this, but it is the place to talk about what your lipids were prior to and then after taking the med. Then, what side effects, if any. Then, perhaps to review the lessons learned by others re which statin, and which method of delivery - oral or injectable.
