This question is because I feel sick when I took the simvastatine, and my doctor changed by pravastatine.
Pravachol - Are there differences between the colateral effects of simvastatine and pravastatine?

Honestly, Auristher, after the research I have done on your question, I think it best to discuss your concerns with your doctor. It is entirely possible to have an adverse affect on one med then to switch to something similar with no adverse affects. It would be helpful to pose the questions as "conversational" because each responder can only reply "once" to your question as it is listed as "direct".
This is a question for your doctor... someone who is personally involved in your care and knows your case history.
