"Crestor worked wonderfully in reducing my cholesterol. It worked quickly, and I was very happy with my lab results. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Crestor because I developed severe muscle pain and aching in my legs, as I did with several of the other statin drugs."

"5 mg Crestor for about 3 weeks after becoming menopausal and having cholesterol spike even higher (family genetic condition) - no side effects at first and numbers started to improve. THEN - everything went haywire - rapid weight gain & all symptoms of pre-menopause have come back. Now having severe joint pain so have stopped taking it completely."

"I went from Zocor, which I had been taking for 10 years. When I started taking Crestor, my cholesterol went from 240 to 147 in 3 weeks and has stayed there. My triglycerides went from 340 to 135. I take 10 milligrams a day."

"Taking Crestor 20 mgs daily. After using this for six months and not seeing good results (cholesterol levels still elevated). I find that I am experiencing joint pains and hair loss. This is my second try on this medication, I was on 10 mg before. I am going to try asking to go back on Lipitor."

"Lovastatin didn't work for me. I changed to Crestor, and the result was a miracle for me (from 275 to 187), that's what I needed for a long time."

"I have tried many cholesterol-lowering drugs. Crestor has been the most effective. It is the first one to bring my level under 200."
