I have been on several different colestrol drugs and I had to stop taking it on account of the leg cramps........Michele
I was on Lipitor for about 5 years when my legs started to ache and cramp so bad that I had to use a cane but I blamed it on fibromyalgia until I smartened up I quit the Lipitor and my legs quit hurting. I tried the Lipitor again and the pain was back. The doctor then put me on Crestor and I tolerated that for about 3 years and then I started falling down and the pain was pretty bad but it was the falling that made me stop the Crestor. Now I am on Ezitrol and so far no pain in legs. Ezitrol is not a statin drug so hope it works .
