Stopped Taking The Tablets

After about 10 weeks on the Inegey - which is a combo of a statin and ezetimibe - I have stopped taking them. After a bout of unexplained vomiting and generally feeling unwell , loss of appetite I blamed the Inegy. It could be someting else - but since I started taking them I have been feeling depressed, getting back pain, and also lost interest in sex. I have been off the statin - (simvastatin) and ezetimibe mixture for two weeks now - and feel a lot better. I haven’t told my GP yet - but I know I should soon.  I need to tackle my lifestyle now - more exercise is the main thing I need to be doing. So less blogging too.

I still have doubts about the whole "cholesterol is bad" - after reading several articles. I need to investigate more about the effects of cholesterol - and will try and put any findings on here.
