Comparing Praluent vs Simvastatin

For High Cholesterol: I shared my experience with Praluent but forgot to add THE COUGH. It is so aggravating, everyday, since starting the praluent injections, I've had the cough that is a side effect. I would not have guessed that it would be so aggravating. I know I don't sound like a happy camper, I'm waiting with hope for things to get much better. Good luck to all thats on this injection, researchers have done a great job, just need to improve it somewhat..

For High Cholesterol: I have only been taking this medication Praluent a short time so I can't say whether it has helped reduce my cholesterol. What I don't like about this drug is that it makes me feel nauseous and I sweat profusely which is upsetting and embarrassing as I work part time at a store as a dressing room attendant or a cashier.

For High Cholesterol: My Dr. put me on Simvastatin. My cholesterol reading 134. I guess it was a birthday present. I was on it for two years. Complained about pain and dizziness. Got Gabapentin and Vicadin. Pain persisted. Then after about twenty-two months I felt something crystalize in my legs muscles. My Dr ignored it. I had this Dr for more then forty years and never associated the medicine with my pain. Utterly stupid. Never trust your health to anyone. I have been in severe pain for the last eight years. Get off Simvastatin immediately when you feel pain. I had a muscle biopsy but I am unable to get the results. In a matter of two years I poisoned myself into an invalid. I spend most of my days in a chair. It is too painful to walk.

For High Cholesterol: Interesting reviews. Over the years I've been on one cholesterol drug or another. My numbers are down and acceptable to my GP. The latest is the generic simvastatin . Muscle soreness in legs, hips, wrists have seemed to be my life. Up every two hours to pee like clockwork, sometimes more irritable for no apparent reason and irregular heart beats I can feel, and are picked up by my BP machine. After reading these reviews, I'm going to self de-medicate for a spell to see if my sleep pattern changes as well as other possible side effects I've listed. It seems too many people have the same symptoms as me, and have stopped taking the medication with positive results.
