It totally killed my libedo and once I quit the statin, my libedo came back full blown! It IS one of the side effects for a lot of people.
My doctor was happy with my cholesterol at 228 and my daughters doctor was happy with hers in that range too and I was happy with the fact that I did it without drugs just to show my doctor it could be done...
I quit statins 3 years ago and the only effect I had from quitting was my quality of life improved 150% and I am now able to perform at work and have energy to do things again, my knee pain is gone, I can remember where I am going again and a lot of other stuff that just vanished when I stopped taking the drug. No more acid reflux, legcramps or feel like lead and I no longer have that statin shuffle when I walk..
