Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I started out years ago with about 346, then it " stabilized " around 250, after the med Zetia it dropped to 199 (hey I'm cured -NOT), next time it was 236. My next blood test is in Feb. I'll be curious to see if SBD has an effect. How are you feeling physically taking Crestor?? I felt terribly fatigued on Zetia. Since it didn't continue lowering my chol. count I stopped taking it. It is one that no liver profiles are needed. PS everyone - I'm feeling fine after going back on Paxil.

My doc immediately put me on Crestor, and after the first retest I went under 200, but as of last month it was up again, but only to 275 this time.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Stacie, its that Skelaxin thats makin you so tired I bet. I had that for a back injury once and jeez, it knocked me out. Do you take that in the morning, and if so, can you switch to before bed. Just a thought. Kim G.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Kim, I actually take the Skelaxin several times a day. I don't think it's having too much effect though. In the past I've been on things as strong as Oxycontin, morphine, and methadone. I'll take one pain killer or muscle relaxer for a while, and then my body gets used to it and I have to switch. You name it, I've had it. Re: Cholesterol I started out years ago with about 346, then it "stabilized" around 250, after the med Zetia it dropped to 199 (hey I'm cured -NOT), next time it was 236.
