Guest guest Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I spoke with my PCM about a non-statin due to the leg pain and weakness I have. He got really defensive with me and did not want to commit and said there was nothing else to prescribe. I know there is, but could not remember of the top of my head what they were. I told him I am going to stop using zocor for the next three months to see how my body feels and what my diet change has done for my cholesterol numbers and research a new PCM who is willing to have a discussion with me rather then getting upset. Doctors forget its a medical " practice " . Does anyone have advise on a non-statin replacement? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
