Generally, if you experience muscle weakness as a side effect of Lipitor (atorvastatin), other statins will produce similar
effects, so that eliminates the use of
Zocor (
simvastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin) etc.
After statin therapy fails or is not tolerated, it is normal to try ezetimibe (Zetia), which you said did not work. The use of colesevelam (WelChol) is not high, and is often the 'last ditch effort' to lower cholesterol.
