Hello, welcome to HCM..
Thanks for writing to us.
I think your doctor has made the right choice.But problem arises you may go for only ATORVASTATIN 20 at night.That is enough for prophylaxis in cholesterol management.If there is problem of insomnia, drugs like ALPRAZOLAM (0.25) may help.But remember it may cause dependence.
Hope I have answered your query.
Stay fit, good luck.
