If it were me I would give pravastatin a chance, but if I had the same side effects and I could not live with them, I would try something like
Zetia. You could also add a fenofibrate like Tricor to lower your TGLs as well, very safe
and no side effects. This will help lower your overall number but will not impact your LDL which is you main issue. You really need to get that under 130 with no other risk factors.
