I initially had an LDL of 152 and was prescribed Atorvastatin which gave me dizziness. So I switched to Pravachol with no side effects. But I needed to increase my dosage to get under 100 LDL and Pravachol is limited to 80mg. So I switched again to 10mg of Rosuvastatin which took me from 114 down to 83 also without side effects.

I got dizziness from lipitor (only in the hours after taking it) and I determined it seemed to be due to dehydration so now I just make sure to drink enough water and no more dizziness. Cut my LDL in half in 3 months and now I take every 2 days
