Re: Opinions sought-Do I need statin?

Lenin and 20,

Thank you both. I don't smoke or have any other real risk factors. I do exercise but have slacked off this summer with doing yardwork, etc. Does Lipitor have the same side effect concerns as Crestor? I did try Lescol XL for 3 months and it didn't bring my total below 200 so my doctor switched me back to Crestor. It's hard to argue with Crestor's number reduction, however, I do worry about the side effects. I ordered some more COQ10 y'day in the event I go back on the Crestor or maybe will take it anyway!

Have a nice day:)
