Anyone on PT take Crestor or Lipitor for cholesterol???

You might want to try fish oil capsules as well. They are supposed to help a lot. The doctor wants me to take 40mg. of Zocor, but it gives me dry mouth, so instead I'm just taking the 20mg (with no side effects), and the fish oil (burpless 1200mg 2xs a day).

I hope to see some results!

Yes- fish oil DOES work. My cholesterol was a little high at 230, but doc didn't want me on any prescription meds for it unless absolutely necessary. He put me on the fish oil regimen and it brought it down to 203 in just over a month. Don't know if everyone would have the same results of course, but for me it was the way to go.

JennLibrarian,

I've tried the fish oil capsules and they made me burp fish!! I stopped taking them. I didn't realize they came in burpless!!! Will wonders never cease!! Thanks!
