Didn’t take it the next night and was able to return to work the next day, though very stiff from the previous night. The next night I took it again, and had spasms again - which let me know it was the medication causing it to happen. I won’t take any more - EVER!

Tried Lipitor and felt like I was dying so Dr gave me this at 10 mg. No problems at all. Took for a year but Dr didn't think it lowered chol enough or my LOL. Increased to 20 mg. Briefly had muscle aches. Test results were great. Significant decrease in LDL and overall cholesterol. After 6 mths I now have pre diabetes. Going to ask Dr to go down to 10 mg again. I did gain about 7 lbs over a year but I doubt that little weight gain would cause pre diabetes. I weigh 150 now so I'm not obese.

Worst medication I have ever taken. Day 12, I started having leg spasms. I quit taking it then but after 2 more weeks, I could barely get out of bed , chiropractor helped but not enough. Dr sent me to physical therapy, no help. After 5 months and more chiropractor treatments I was better but 2 more months before spasms were reduced to the point I could drive again. Now I have developed a myopathy which in turn, caused breast cancer.

Even after that I still continued to take rosuvastatin. After 10 months on 10 mg a day I found I couldnâ??t get up from a chair without server pain.

Rosuvastatin significantly reduced my LDL cholesterol after using it for about 4 months, but I got pains in my thumb joints so I stopped taking it about 10 months ago. My joints are still bothering me so maybe it was just a coincidence that the problem started a few weeks after starting this drug. I've played video games most nights for about 15 years so maybe my thumbs are just getting arthritic, but I'm afraid of going back on the statin for fear of losing the use of my hands. If anyone else has experienced this I'd like to hear about it.
