I had the brain fog. I switched from atorvastatin (dizziness) to pravachol (no dizziness), and then again to higher effective dosage of rosuvastatin (still no dizziness). I went from LDL 152 to LDL 83.
But I have high Lp(a) and so I'm prescribed a baby aspirin every other day. This counteracts the Lp(a) clotting effect but doesn't fix its genetic cause.
It's a journey.
- tresdots 9mo agoI was recently prescribed rosuvastatin (my first time taking any statin), and I had some very intense brain fog. How would you describe the feeling of what you experienced? The best way I could describe it to my friends and family was that I felt like I lost a quarter of my IQ and slept only 5 hours every night(I was getting great sleep, it just felt that way). It was such a strange feeling. It's a weird feeling to know you're brain just isn't working as it has always worked.
- CalChris 8mo agoI had dizziness from atorvastatin and nothing from Pravachol and Rosuvastatin. The conclusion I draw is that you have to find something that works. But this is uncharted territory. Your docs won't know and you have to kind of force the issue.
