Does Intake Of Lipitor Along With Crestor And Zocor Lead To Memory Loss And Neuropathy?

I am experiencing memory loss, muscle loss, neuropathy, cataracts, among many others from using zocor,crestor and now lipitor for 20 years. Are these side effects normal for taking these statins and for this long.Also, I should note, I took Zorcor at 40 MG, Crestor at Max, and I am presently at 80MG on Lipitor. Also, I am taking, along side of Lipitor, 1000MF of Ranolazine and Metoprolol. Thank you Frank

Hello,

Before admitting this lipid lowering drugs is causing multiple problems to you, I should first know if you suffer of diabetes or thyroid problems at the same time? If nothing, and if only heart problems (for which you are taking ranolazine and metoprolol), then, yes, neuropathy, memory loss, and muscle loss are caused by taking Crestor, Zocor or even Lipitor. Discuss this further with your caring doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
