I've been taking Crestor 20mg for about three months now, and I've been doing fine so far. However, I've heard some pretty scary things about the side effects, and I'm starting to worry. I know that side effects can range from minor annoyances to serious issues, and some rare cases are life-threatening. There's a lot of information out there, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually experienced them. What were your side effects like? How did you handle them? Did you have to stop taking Crestor, or did your doctor adjust your dosage? Let's discuss our experiences and help each other out.

I've been taking Crestor 40mg Tablets for about a week now. I started this medication after my doctor noticed my cholesterol levels were pretty high. I've been reading up on the side effects, but I can't seem to find anything about numbness, especially in the lips. Is this a known side effect? Should I be concerned? I'm not sure if I should call my doctor or just wait it out. I've had a few other minor side effects, like stomach pain and joint pain, but nothing this unusual. I'm glad I found this community because I'm definitely feeling a bit anxious about this. Fingers crossed someone has some answers!
