  • I found out the brain is mostly made of cholesterol. They are giving people cholesterol drugs which is drying up their brains of cholesterol and causing Alzheimer’s. risk of Alzheimer’s doubles every year after the age of 65, I guess because that age is when the doctors give cholesterol drugs. Do research on it

  • Hi Ben,

    What dosage were you taking and for how long? Did the side effects you felt come on suddenly or just get worse over time? Thanks for your time. Dan

  • @TazRulesNY Hi,

    I was given the highest dose, 45mg,beause there were no warnings out yet,The side effects come on in about 4 weeks and get worse rapidly. Please take another pill like Lipitor in small doses.

    Thanks,

    Ben

  • @benishirlm Thanks for getting back to me Ben. It's so sad you had to deal with such a horrible life changing experince. Are you taking Lipitor now or can you no longer take statin medications?

  • ben, i'm so sorry that you went through this, but you have to understand that drug formulations are in Phase IV of testing when they get to the general public. that means that they've been found to be safe and effective for the LARGE MAJORITY of people. that does NOT preclude the possibility of individual adverse reactions. individual genetic tendencies really can't be accounted for during phase I-II of clinical trials, and they SHOULDN'T be, or no drug would ever make it to the public.

  • Its a Hoax

  • Hello, I just met u today at Office Depot, I have to say I have not stopped thinking about our conversation and how quite possibly the pain in my legs and fatigue as well as palpitations I quietly experience are because of the use of Crestor for over a period of 6 months. I suffer quietly because I'm not a complainer I just deal w/ the pain. I identified with much of what u had to say and I will NOT take Crestor any longer. I will do my homework from now on before taking the medications.

  • How long did you take crestor before you noticed any side effects? I have been taking it for 30 days and I do notice some slight muscular pain or aches.

  • @slicksta362 Thank you for your interest in Crestor treatment. I started feeling weak iin the legs and in my arms after about a month or month and a half. Then it became brutal. Of coarse there is no pain in the kidneys when they're going so I never gave them a 2nd thought until I went to doctor when I got home. Please have yourself checked out by somebody other than your doctor and get more than one opinion good luck

  • @benishirlm

    Good for you

    Ben

  • after just 2 weeks.. i had to stop because of bad side effects..(muscular aches and pains, anxiety, palpitations, headache and irritability) and that was just the lowest dose of 5 mg. It prompted me to find out more about crestor . After reading so many bad side effects experienced by other patients, it makes me wonder why doctors recommend this "medication". Just came across your video. and you have just confirmed my decision.. thank you. for your information.

  • My doctor just prescribed Crestor to try to lower my cholesterol. But before filling my prescription, I decided to do some research on the drug first. I've read several articles, medical journals, etc. And I'm glad I did.

    It's thanks to individuals such as yourself for speaking out and warning others of the dangers of these new drugs.

    Rhabdomyolysis leading to kidney failure is not uncommon with this drug... It's just not worth the damn gamble.

    I'm so sorry you had to find out the hard way.

  • Sorry, not true. I was on Lipitor for a year, no problem. My doctor gave me Crestor ,the highest dose for three months and I lost my muscle use and my kidneys, which were normal at the time, failed.
