Hello, Nestro31! How are you?

If your doctor has instructed you to lower the dose, it would be best to do as they've directed.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband was similar, so he weaned himself off the Statin (I forget which one it was) couldn't get any logical answer from the doc as to why not. He now takes no statins, and cholesterol is non existant.
