[QUOTE="bigfred32, post: 18172, member: 2737"] Had a recent dr visit and in discussing blood work my cholesteral has been running on the low side since starting trt a year ago. About 6 months ago lowered statin dose to 10mg from 20mg. I have been on some form of a statin drug since about 2009 when my gp at the time suggested it when my total cholesteral was in the 220 range. Now its around 130 or so and my current dr is not a fan of using any statins. I read a thread on here recently about statins and erections and someone posted a link written about the dangers of statins which was really informative and interesting. I have to really think about it but can pinpoint times with muscle pains and unexplained cramping and pulled muscles. Im very active so I would play off the pains but it always stuck in my mind. All that being said, this past friday after talking with dr, I stopped taking my statin and now I absolutly feel like shit. Bloating, slight head aches, preasure in head and some dizziness kind of feeling like a bad hangover and tottally lethargic Where I want to fall asleep with no energy. None of these feelings are familiar to me as I was feeling great before stopping the statin. I googled it and a couple sites talk of side effects but not withdrawls and wondering if there really is such a thing or am I just catching a bug.....coincidences? I ve heard of such things but dont necessarily believe in them. [/QUOTE]
