Rosuvastatin for High Cholesterol, Familial Homozygous Reviews
Crestor (rosuvastatin) "I am 52 and have been taking statins for 25 years. From Mevacor, Zocor, to Lipitor, Zetia, and now Crestor. I am lucky to have had no side effects, but will say Crestor has worked best at 40 mg daily, it helps keep it down around 230. Had a 95% blockage at age 28 and 1 stent last year. I believe statins have protected my heart over the years! My brother cannot take them and had a quadruple bypass at 49. Also, everyone should have a calcium scan, simple and life-saving."
Ezallor (rosuvastatin) "I had explosive diarrhea for weeks on end. I do not recommend having Taco Bell after this medicine. Please ask your doctor for more info. I have been taking this medicine for 10 years now and I have gone bankrupt I think my doctor is ripping me off."
Crestor (rosuvastatin) "I have had brutal neck,shoulder and joint pain for about 7 years. I didn't associate it with Crestor. After reading a few comments on different sites I decided to stop cold turkey.It has been about a 10 days now and I had incredible pain in the same places on days 4-5 plus I had actual liver pain. I couldn't even scratch my back or take my coat off nor turn my neck. I thought about going back on them the pain was so intense but around day 7 pain is about 1/4 of what it was. It's remarkable. No more 30 minute showers to just get moving. I was walking around and felt like my body was worn out for the last years and today I'm starting to actually enjoy life again. Also while on this I had frequent dizzy spells, was cold all the time, and felt off balance. If I don't stroke out, this is the best thing I have done in a long time but either way the pain was so bad the quality of life was nil on crestor and got worse every day."
