I stopped them cold turkey without telling my doctor (Lipitor). 5 months later I had a massive heart attack (100% block in main right coronary artery), cholesterol was 285 and triglycerides 278). Lucky to be alive. My point is, don't just quit on your own, I would check with your doctor and let him know your concerns about being on a statin.
I would love to know how to safely get off of these.
Just quit.
That's what I did. Just stopped taking them. For about 2 weeks I was afraid I'd notice something different. After that, I stopped caring.
If I die, I die. Fuck the medical establishment.
