I was recently diagnosed with Type 2. As part of treatment I was put on Simvastatin (Zocor). I am now experiencing severe muscle pain. I then read up on it and found out that this can be a side effect of statins. I stopped taking it a few days ago but I still ache like I've been hit by a bus.
Has anyone experienced this?
How long do the side effects take to wear off?
