Hello, Patti! How are you?

This medication is usually just stopped, as long as someone has their doctor's approval. There may be a brief rebound elevation in cholesterol levels, but it usually doesn't last, or become dangerous.

Why are you stopping it? Are you experiencing bad side effects? The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.
