"Crestor worked wonderfully in reducing my cholesterol. It worked quickly and I was very happy with my lab results. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Crestor because I developed severe muscle pain and aching in my legs, as I did with several of the other statin drugs."

"I went from Zocor, which I had been taking for 10 years. When I started taking Crestor my cholesterol went from 240 to 147 in 3 weeks and has stayed there. My triglycerides went from 340 to 135. I take a 10 milligram a day."

"Taking Crestor 20mgs daily. After using this for six months and not seeing good results (cholesterol levels still elevated). I find that I am experiencing joint pains and hair loss. This is my second try on this medication, I was on 10 mg before. I am going to try asking to go back on Lipitor."

"Lovastatin didn't work for me. I changed to Crestor and result was a miracle for me (from 275 to 187), that's what I needed for a long time."
