[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 220918, member: 84"] If it were me, I'd explain that your taking the statin as much as you can tolerate. A medication you can't tolerate is not going to do you much good in the long run. Because you can't take it regularly enough for it to work properly. (in other words? what's the point?) I'd imagine there are other medications out there to lower cholesterol, too many to get stuck on one that has side effects that make you feel worse. If your cholesterol is super high and this medication works miracles in taking out the LDLs then......well, maybe. But even then I'd be hesitant. Because like mwm stated, there are other ways to help curb cholesterol that often work better than the medications; diet, and fish oil are two that come to mind at the moment. [/QUOTE]
