"I am 52 and have been taking statins for 25 years. From Mevacor, Zocor, to Lipitor, Zetia, and now Crestor. I am lucky to have had no side effects, but will say Crestor has worked best at 40 mg daily, it helps keep it down around 230. Had a 95% blockage at age 28 and 1 stent last year. I believe statins have protected my heart over the years! My brother cannot take them and had a quadruple bypass at 49. Also, everyone should have a calcium scan, simple and life-saving."

"I have had brutal neck, shoulder, and joint pain for about 7 years. I didn't associate it with Crestor. After reading a few comments on different sites, I decided to stop cold turkey. It has been about 10 days now, and I had incredible pain in the same places on days 4-5, plus I had actual liver pain. I couldn't even scratch my back or take my coat off, nor turn my neck. I thought about going back on them, the pain was so intense, but around day 7, pain is about 1/4 of what it was. It's remarkable. No more 30-minute showers to just get moving. I was walking around and felt like my body was worn out for the last few years, and today I'm starting to actually enjoy life again. Also, while on this, I had frequent dizzy spells, was cold all the time, and felt off balance. If I don't stroke out, this is the best thing I have done in a long time, but either way, the pain was so bad the quality of life was nil on Crestor and got worse every day."

"I had explosive diarrhea for weeks on end. I do not recommend having Taco Bell after this medicine. Please ask your doctor for more info. I have been taking this medicine for 10 years now, and I have gone bankrupt, I think my doctor is ripping me off."
