I also take Lipitor, with no side affects. At night I also take 1
caplet of 500 milligrams of Niaspan. These two medications have
brought my cholesterol down to 135. Triglycerides are 99, HDL (good
stuff) is 45, and the LDL (bad stuff) is 70.

If you are having cramps, by all means talk to your doctor! I had a
friend who also had cramps (arms) from Zocor and constant, and I do
mean constant, gas from the medication. His doctor switched him and
evidently Zocor is not for you. There's other medication to can take
to lower your cholesterol.
