Question

Will side effects with zocor go away when I stop taking it?

Answer 1

my husband is an RN. He just looked Zocor up in his handbook and says: if you are having unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially with fever, you need to see your doctor. otherwise, the side effects should go away after about two weeks after you stop taking it. If you are having side effects and are worried about it, go to your doctor.

Answer 2

They will, it may take a few days for the drug to be completely flushed out of your system once you stop taking it.  The most common side effect of Zocor or Statin drugs is muscle cramping and they do go away after the drug is out of your system.  

Answer 3

Depletion of CoQ10 is the best known side effect of statins. Their effect on CoQ10 is reversible but the effect of low CoQ10 may not be.  There is a DNA mutation in the midocodria of your muscles. Mutations do not reverse. Congestive heart disease is not reversible. The things that can be triggered by Zocor will not be reversible but should improve. Things like Alzheimer's, dementia, and ALS.
