Okay about 8 months ago my doctor put me on Crestor to lower my cholesterol level. I did not want to do it as I did not like the reviews on the drug. A lot of bad side effects. I took Zeta for a weekend and thought I might die from it so had my doctor change me and he almost won't take no for an answer for the Crestor.

I went to get the prescription and asked for just 3 days worth and thought if I lived through it I would pick up the rest. Well it was a rough couple of days and then really bad joint pain for a couple of months and then all side effects stopped. Today I got my blood results back and my cholesterol levels are perfect. So if you need something that really works I say ask for it. I was on another one for 2 years and it did nothing for me.

Now if only they would only come out with a generic, I stopped taking it due to cost. I have an HSA account and for 3 months it cost almost $400.00.

I went to their website and you can register for a card and you do not have to pay more than $50/month for a year. I used mine at Sam's Good with insurance or without.

Thank you 123crod, I wish I knew about that before because I really need to be on it. Looks like I'm going to the Little Clinic to get back on this again. :) But hopefully as I lose more weight (just banded 09JUL2012) it will get a lot better. Thanks so much!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
