Zocor worked fabulous for reducing cholesterol. I was one of the "rare" side effects. I felt so bad that I wished I would die. I was so extremely fatigued for a year that I was tested for AID, hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid, brain tumor, anemia, lupus, mono, etc. As a last resort, my doctor had me quit taking the medicine. I have not felt this wonderful in a year.

After taking Zocor for six months, I had to stop using it because of difficulty sleeping and moderate depression.
