I started taking 20 mg of simvastatin about 6 days ago. I haven't had any problems except for a mild headache. But last night, something happened that is really freaking me out. I don't know if I should continue to take the medication. I took my pill after supper around 6 p.m. I went to bed around 11. As soon as I laid down, I felt a tightness in my chest and like I couldn't catch my breath. I don't have asthma and have never expereinced anything like this before. I felt like I couldn't take a deep breath. I also started yawning one after another for about 15 minutes. I read the leaflet for this drug that I received from the pharmacy. It listed shortness of breath and tightness in the chest as a sign of an allergic reaction? Should I take my pill tonight and see if i...

Is there an oval - peach simvastatin pill 10 mg. put out by TEVA- with letters on one side only "S L" ? ## No, I can't find a Simvastatin pill that just has the SL imprint and Teva uses a 93, which is slowly being replaced with the name Teva on their products. There are, however, over the counter products available in the U.S. that are called Simply Sleep that use just the SL logo, they contain the active ingredient Diphenhydramine. Where was this pill found/obtained?
