I took Zocor and later the generic Simvastatin without any problems, but the doctor switched me to Vytorin to try to get my cholesterol down further. When I read Vytorin might have problems, I requested Lipitor mainly because of Dr. Robert Jarvik's endorsement, but I reacted badly to it almost immediately. I haven't been back to the doctor since, but will be going back soon. I'm interested in my cholesterol level now with improved diet and more exercise without a statin. If I do resume statin treatment, I've already decided I'll go with the generic Simvastatin because my body tolerated it well, there is more history for it since Zocor is an older statin drug, and also because the generic is cheaper than the new drugs. * * *
