Zocor
I had started Zocor and was not on it regularly for less than 2 weeks probably but started feeling the quadracepts ache/burn that I use to get from my low back episodes. I wasn't experiencing any of the back prob so I contributed it to the medicine.
I also felt sort of hyper agitated but that may have been for other reasons. I stopped the drug and have not restarted it. My cholesterol is 269 and my LDL is 188. Family history of cardiac dx/strokes.
Just saw my PCP who recommended staying off the drug and retesting values. Referral to Cardiologist as well and diagnostic testing scheduled (anxiety related chest pain/pressure is my dx but has to be followed up per my PCP since I presented w/symptoms).
I did not like what I felt in my quads at all as this pain has been well managed for years with Gabapentin 1800mg/day and Methadone 12.5mg/day and ESIs 2-3x/year (mostly the drugs tho).
