I'm in the same boat. My cholesterol is pretty high and I am prescribed a statin for it but I haven't taken it for months. It makes me tired and depressed and I'm already dealing with low energy and fighting depression. I do take Ezetimine, another med that helps with cholesterol, and a supplement called heart Savior but I don't think they work nearly as well as statins. A lot of people have bad side effects from statins, unfortunately.
