Have you suffered any side effects from statins( Levacor, Zocor, Pravachol, Lipitor, Crestor, etc.)?

Question:

Statins users: have you done any research on side effects before you agreed to take the drugs?

Answer:

Statins can cause muscle pain and in some cases actually destroy muscle tissue. Also... statins block the body from producing a chemical called coenzyme Q10. coQ10 is needed by the body for cellular energy and to keep the heartbeat strong. If coQ10 is depleted, it could be a factor in weakening the heartbeat. That could cause a heart attack. Take supplemental CoQ10 if on statins.
