How to get off Atoravastatin

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi

I am new to this forum and hoping to find others who have gone off Atoravastatin. I have been on 10mg for approx. 2 years.

I have read to cut the pills in half and take half for a week then half every second day and half every 3rd day and then off.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

    No, but let me know how it works out. I've been on it for years and I lost weight and don't take lisinopril for a year now my blood pressure is good. My last blood test the Dr. says I have a rapid heart beat so ator causes fast heart beats I don't need extra help to die. I'm 76 be 77 in Sept and tired of taking extra pills. They put you on these pills but never take you off good luck.
