AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I was not aware of the dnagers of statins!

Payne, without statins my cholesterol level is similar to yours. Mine is genetic. My Mom's cholesterol level was through the roof without meds. I already eat the recommended diet. I exercise. I'm not overweight. Heck for most of my life I was underweight! I take fish oil. Without the statins my primary care doc says I'm a stroke waiting to happen my cholseterol level is so high.

Hmmm, I'm going to talk to my pdoc about this. I realize statins are not a psch med, but he is knowledgeable and I trust him.
