Hello, Les! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having.

Actually, it would be best to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication.

This is classified as a beta blocker and there are several others available that you can try to see if they work for you, without causing as many side effects. The FDA lists the typical ones as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking 40mg of pravastatin sodium. I feel like this medicine is to strong. My blood test came back. Stating that my liver test was adnormal. Should I cut the pravastatin sodium a light green pill in half. My doctor will not prescribe a lesser dose (20mg)?
