I do not take Crestor but I thought I'd look for some information for you. I found this website that lists all of the information, including side effects of Crestor. I hope it helps you!

Thank you for the response. I will check it out.

Since my aunt started Crestor, 4-5 years ago, she has suffered significant memory loss, shortness of breath, and difficulty walking. (from 1 mile per day 2 years ago to only about 30 feet at a time now. My aunt is in her 80s, and I talked her into stopping the drug last month. I hope things improve. BEWARE OF THIS DRUG!

I am 45 & I was given this drug to lower my cholesterol, after 2 weeks I noticed cramping in my joints. Irritable Bowel Syndrome followed with chronic constipation, fatigue while feeling quite dizzy. The scariest thing for me was loss of my ability to recall words & and certain memory loss. I stopped this medication after the month & have since found all this information out on the internet.

Statin's can also cause permanent liver & kidney damage.

I'm surprised they even let drugs like this onto the market, what are they thinking of?? I am furious.

"BEWARE"

im taking lipitor and i went to the hospital for knee and leg pain. i researched lipitor's website and it state serious side effects is muscle pain with out any reason, could cause liver failure.
now i m scared to take this drug anymore.

My father underwent Angioplasty last september and was prescribed Crestor among other medications.

God knows whether the terrible hives (urticaria)he had thereafter was due to crestor or some other medication but the Doc finally did change Crestor to something else (I don't remember)

Am taking (4 days) 5mg Crestor 1 daily. I was told to cut the 10mg tablet and take 1/2. This is a coated tablet and have been told to not cut a coated tablet. Should I take the whole tablet every other day or continue to use the 1/2 tablet?

i decided to stop taking lipitor and my high blood pressure meds. and i m taking omega 3 fatty acids. my blood pressure is normal but im suppose to see if my cholesterol is normal while take the omega 3.

i was so scared to get off my medication because i thought that i could have a stroke or something. but every time i go to the doctors my pressure is normal.
try herbs and fish oil.
