    This one of many side effect of this drug. You would do better to take perservations out of your diet and exercise a little instead of the drugs

    Muscle abnormalities (tremors, spasms) are common adverse effects of this type of medication. You need to get ahold of your prescriber ASAP. There are other medications in this classification that may help you without the problems youre having now.

    Also, patients are not to have grapefruit or grapefruit juice with this medicine.

    Good luck!

    There’s an anesthesiologist in my town, whom I know. He has told me that the statin drugs, which Zocor is, are “the worst class of drugs out there.”

    He also said that “they lower cholesterol and cause heart attacks.”

    One of the dangerous results of statins affects the muscles. The condition can be fatal.

    You can lower arterial risk with things like fish oil, arginine, Kyolic heart formulas (either the one with hawthorn, cayenne, or lecithin in it.), folic acid, or bromelain.

    Good luck and be well.

    Head the advise, Pharmaceuticals are chemicals and that is very hard on your liver. Muscle spasms and tremors are associated with a deficiency of B-1 [thiamine]. Check the side effects attached to the drug label. Also google the condition Beriberi associated with alcohol abuse, another symptom of this is depression. There are good homeopathic remedies for depression that Dr’s fail to recognize mostly because they don’t offer the complimentary vacation to Mexico which is probably where you can find your doc for pushing Zocor. For depression google the Hypothalamus gland and try supplementing with amino acids also watch the DVD What The Bleep Do We Know. GOD Bless and good luck.
