"After experiencing a range of intolerable side effects while trying a sequence of traditional, inexpensive statins, Pitavastatin, aka Livalo, has worked well. Livalo was my last resort, albeit a significantly more expensive choice, costing more than 10 times the price of the old, more familiar statins. Fortunately, while on Livalo, I have had no GI upset, no muscle issues, and no memory problems. My LDL is down significantly (almost 20%), while my HDL seems to be unchanged. My triglycerides are down only slightly more than statistically noticeable, but my dietary restriction of carbohydrate intake being kept to a very low level has had the greatest effect on successfully managing a meaningful reduction of my triglyceride level."

"I had way worse pain on Livalo than other statins, this is a terrible drug. Neck ache, back ache, ribcage pain, and massive irritability. I had no pleasure in life on this med, only pain and irritation."
