zocor

Avatar n tn Well, my Dr. put me on Zocor for high cholesterol 2 mos. ago...I noticed about 3 1/2 weeks ago that there was more hair in my brush...and, it felt thinner. Well, it's getting BAD! I called my Dr. this morning & they're taking me off Zocor which DOES cause hair loss, at least it is one of the side effects. NO guarantee that it will come back either!!! I tell Ya!!! Well, if it get's worse, I have my wigs!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU & ANYONE else having this problem.
Avatar f tn Has anyone read how horrific the side effects really are to some of these statins and realized that either they or their loved ones had these very symtoms and becames seriously ill to the point that they ended up in ICU not knowing who they were, where they were, in so much pain they could not bear to be touched and had regressed to near infancy before anyone figured out that it was zocor or lipitor or another statin they were on that was causing these bizarre illnessess ?
Avatar n tn When I went to my diabetes appointment last week or a couple of weeks ago I was told that my bad cholestrol was perfect and my good cholestrol was low so the doctor suggested for me to take Fish Oil Omega 3 I used to take 80mg.
Avatar f tn I have also gained 30 pounds since my quintuple CABG back in September 2007. I am also on Zocor, Aspirin and Niaspam. Can Coreg cause any of these symptoms? Also, my HDL has not improved since my surgery. I'm stuck in the high 20's. I feel a lack of motivation and rarely exercise. I'm worried about the HDL. Both of my brothers have low HDL and my father died of a heat attack at age 66.
Avatar f tn Vytorin does a remarkable job of reducing your Cholesterol, much better than Zocor (Simvastatin) alone. However, Zetia doesn't seem to add anything to the picture as far as preventing heart disease is concened. But read this about Zocor: -"Zocor Users Not Warned of Risks: The FDA's June 2011 safety alert is the most serious of many warnings regarding Zocor and associated risks of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Zocor manufacturer Merck & Co.
Avatar n tn m was giving Plavix and Crestro, . Im. so weak and tired all the time no energy at all. I ask the doctor to change the satin crestro which I just found out it suppose to be the best satin. I thought it was that which was causing my tiredness. so I beg Dr. to ..change it to Zocor but I'm still feeling the same... the only thing different is fewer muscle aches. My colorestral isn't that high but was told I must take both for a year. How long does this tiredness last?
Avatar n tn For two years I took Zocor for the purpose of lowering my Cholesterol. When I complained to my doctor about my body aching all over she suggested I discontinue using the Zocor for several weeks. As time passed I realized a lessening of body aches so I decided not to go back on the Zocor. It has now been 5 months since I have taken Zocor. Meanwhile, I have been losing weight (about 5 pounds) without changing my diet. I realized that my pants were baggy in the thighs and seat.
Avatar n tn In an effort to increase my HDL, I take Niaspan & Zocor.....Recently my MD upped the Zocor from 5mgl. to 10mgl.... Last couple weeks, have had more trouble sleeping, usually waking up after a dream (not nightmares, but somewhat vivid dreams)...I've checked out few sites, & saw that statins can cause sleep problems....Have others here had sleep problems while taking a statin?........
Avatar n tn Has anyone had problems with statins (in particular Zocor) causing an exacerbation of ocular and nasal allergy symptoms? I started Zocor 6 weeks ago, and after the first week, my eye allergy symptoms (conjunctivitis, scleritis, eyes watering, etc) got much worse. By the end of last week, my eyes were tearing to the point that tears were running down my face most of the day, and my vision was blurring. I had also developed constant sniffles. None of my allergy meds gave any relief.
Avatar n tn I currently take 150mg of Zocor per day. Recently i have developed a cough, which I can deal with but when I cough I get pain shooting though my head. It takes a few minutes to go away and then things are find. Should I be worried.
Avatar f tn Is it possible to reduce without taking something like zocor, just quitting smoking? Rather quit smoking than stay on zocor. How concerned should I be?
Avatar f tn In mid December 2007, I was rushed in again due to a different artery being clogged. Both times the cardiologist blamed it on Zocor 80mg. I was put back on Lipitor 80mg after the October event. They additionally informed me that the arteries were all under 45% clogged after the October intervention, There were hematoma and femoral nerve palsy after the October episode as well, so they went through the wrist in December. Can an artery clog wthin two months?
Avatar f tn My primary care physician told me there is damage and narrowing of the arteries; prescribed Zocor, diet, exercise and blood tests. I am 62-years old, a nonsmoker or drinker. I do take Lamictal/Klonopin for bipolar 2. My mother died of a stroke at age 69 (smoker). My maternal grandmother also had a stroke. I am very concerned.
Avatar f tn I have developed a devastating peripheral neuropathy and I believe, as does my neurologist that it is caused by the Zocor I took for 7 years. If you take Zocor, Lipitor or any of the other so-called statin drugs, you need to discuss this with your neurologist Dr.
Avatar f tn My husband has High Cholesterol. They put him on Zocor four years ago. Before the Zocor there was NOTHING wrong with him but the cholesterol. He has now tested positive for kidney failure three years in a row and it has been getting worse, this past year his liver started showing distress. He went off Zocor and magically all his numbers got much better (from stage 3 to stage 2). So they put him on Lipitor.
Avatar f tn ve been feeling so tired and having weak legs I have kind of let that go. So, since I remember reading something a couple of years ago about statins possibly being benificial in ms......I finallly caved, and let him start me on zocor last month. I went for a routine visit to the ms clinic last week and told them about the zocor. WELLL.... it seems that there WAS some promising research so a very large study was started.

374652 tn?1494811435 Not really hep c related except my shot yesterday kinda pulled the rug out from me yesterday. and today I'm a bit nausea and tired. Not looking forward to the 1 hr. drive each way, but could be worse I could feel like I did yesterday. i'm so glad I took the shot day off of work and the day after. Mom will be supportive so it will be nice and she is my mom....
Avatar f tn //cholesterol.emedtv.com/zocor/zocor-and-liver-problems.html _________________________________________________________ It may be the combination of meds...(Zocor&Suboxone)...I couldn't find any info on effexor xr and elevated liver enzymes. Hope you get it figured out.
Avatar n tn Its good that he took you off of the Zocor, as statins have also been linked to liver damage (which, I am sure, is why he took you off of it). I would guess that you are going to find that your enzymes start trending downward after being off the Augmentin and Zocor. I would suspect that the combination of drugs (which are known to be potentially harmful to the liver) could have caused the elevation of your AST...but that is just my guess.
Avatar f tn I have what seems to be the same vision problems as "fibromed". My vision gets blurry and I feel the need to rub them -- it seems like there is a film of saran wrap over my eyeballs and I can't peel it off. My eyes get more tired as the day goes on.
Avatar m tn Well I always feel run down plus I have very high cholestoral and blood pressure and I am on zocor and bp meds. I have also gained a lot of weight the past three years. I was 160 lbs three years ago now I am over 250lbs and I really havent changed my workout plan. I have cut down on my food intake for the simple fact I am so tired of gaining weight. I go in this thursday to see an internal medician specialist.
Avatar f tn The medication that I am taking is Diovan 160 mg daily; Coreg 25 mg (1 every 12 hrs); Lanoxin .25mg daily; Zocor 40 mg daily; and Aldactone 25 mg daily. and I also take 1 baby asprin daily. I still get tired easily but am trying to walk daily.
