I just had my cholesterol checked, and it was on the high side. It was basically unchanged from 8 years ago (last time I had it checked), despite better diet and exercise habits that I now practice. I also have a strong family history of heart problems and high cholesterol.
My cardiologist wants me to take Zocor. My neurologist says that it shouldn't be a problem (and then gave me a lecture on the wonders of statins... but that's another issue. I think he must have investments in the drug companies).
My question is... Does anyone else have any experience with statin drugs and how they mix with anti-epileptic drugs? I'm not thrilled about having to take yet another drug...especially such a controversial one. A few months ago, I had NO health problems (at least that I knew about), and now I am in the clutches of the medical world. :doctor: Is this a downward spiral into --- old age?:huh:
