crestor

Hi Monstrong.  well i have tried them all starting with lipitor. i switched to crestor and after two days stopped, severe back pain.  i am presently trying again to take zocor at a very low dose, i am quartering a 40 mg pill!!!!  my 10 cents would be that crestor has not been around long enough so i would not chosse3 it either.  here is a little piece of info,  red yeast rice is a natural statin, as a matter of fact it is the same as mevacor only in a herb.  i could not tolerate becasue i have IBS and all the statins wreak havoc on my intestines.  so far i am holding on zocor, i have been taking fish oil and eating a hanful of almonds and walnuts every day.  my good cholesteralo is up to 67 from about 57,  what are your numbers?  are your triglycerides high ?  i will check back for your response  by for now the nuts will also lower your trigs.
