I cannot write or paint normally because the muscles in my right hand dont function normally. The specialist diagnosed this condition as dystonia. I realise that this condition is most likely caused by my prolonged use of statins, firstly Zocor, then Lipitor and now Aspavor. I also have hemifacial spasm . I recently started a routine of massaging my face and discovered how very sore the muscles in my cheeks are. I have no doubt that the Aspavor has also contributed to this condition. I am also on Ezetrol . I take 20mg Aspavor and 10 mg Ezetrol and Ecotrin daily. I had carotid surgeries about 5 years ago and have a stent inserted in one of the arteries after it began closing up with cholesterol again. I am fed up with the muscle spasms and I want to take an alternative. I will appreciate...

Colestrol ## ## I have severy problems to sleep. Can Aspavor play a role in it? How can I solve the problem? ## I've been on the following drugs:warfarin,Tritace, Plavix,Norvasc,Lipitor,Ecotrin. 2 Bypasses and 2 stents have blocked completely but collateral circulation has been established. New cardiologist has now reduced drugs to Lipitor, Norvasc and Ecotrin. Does this make sense if the full basket eliminated bypass and stent failure? ## I have been taking 10 mg Aspavor every night for the past 4 months. I broke my femur 6 months ago and was on Crestor which I was subsequently taken off. I am experiencing severe back pain - could this be related to the Aspavor?

Is it true that Aspavor causes Tendonitis in a small percentage of users ## I started taking Aspavor a couple of weeks ago as despite cutting animal fats out of my (pretty healthy) diet my cholesterol was very high. The side-effects are impacting my quality of life severely - I have gone from being fit and active to semi-crippled by terrible pains in my legs and hips (and cramping at night) plus lower back pain and tender undersides of my feet, especially when I walk.
