I would be VERY concerned with a 19 year old on a statin drug! That scares the daylights out of me!

Please check the diet she is on, research what foods she can eat to help lower it, what supplemants she can take to help lower it.. Remember, for some of us, taking those drugs has been a life altering event for us, the damage done permanent. This is a serious, dangerous drug.

Many things can effect cholesterol! What is going on in your life, not having enough rest, stress plays a big role. I can't imagine what a doctor is thinking putting a 19 year old on it! It was not meant for the young to be on it although big pahrma is pushing it. PLEASE research and research all aspects of this issue and learn as much as you can, do it NOW, before you end up regretting it. I am 61 and I will pay the rest of my life for taking it for 5 to 6 years, educate yourself PLEASE! There is a lot more she can do rather than taking that..
