Rosuvastatin "Since menopause, my LDL and non-HDL became stubbornly high despite diet changes (I had the advanced lipid and ApoB test as well). Finally, I agreed to take a statin. The doctor prescribed 5 mg rosuvastatin every other day. After 3 months, I got retested. Total 271 to 188, Trigs 68 to 66, HDL 81 to 69, LDL 173 to 106. I have had no side effects, but taking a low dose every other day."

Rosuvastatin "I take 10 mg Crestor EOD (Every Other Day). My cholesterol is 221, with HDL and triglycerides normal, but an LDL of 169. 42-year-old male, moderately active. The first three weeks were the worst, even taking every other day, with the brain fog and joint/muscle pain. But going on two months now, it has mostly resolved. I actually feel better after two months, I am not sure if high cholesterol can make you feel lousy, but I'm just stating I feel different in a good way. Side note: Crestor is supposed to lower your blood pressure a little too. Anyway, if this medicine bugs you, take it every other day or every two days. It will still work well. It is a very strong statin. Best part, my insurance pays for it all! Cost me $0.00. If you want the benefits of statins, you have to take the bad with the good. The side effects will resolve and aren't that bad. Stick with it!"

"Have been taking rosuvastatin 10 mg for many years. Yes! It did help lower LDL, but the side effects were hidden for many years. I weaned off this drug, and my BP went from 186/87 to 114/63, and my stomach problems lessened greatly. This drug does raise your blood pressure and cause stomach issues."
