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!

I just started Crestor last week and so far I haven't noticed any side effects besides some weakness and a bit of constipation. But if I did, I'd definitely be calling my doctor. Ultimately, I know this medication is important as my cholesterol was very high. But so far, nothing but no issues.

I had constipation while on Crestor, but nothing like numbness in the lips. That's definitely something to talk to your doctor about. I’d also suggest keeping a log of all the side effects you experience, just in case.

I think it's important to remember that everyone's body reacts differently to medications. What might be a minor side effect for one person could be a major issue for another. I'd definitely err on the side of caution and talk to your doctor about the numbness.

Oh no! Here’s some help: I’ve been taking Crestor for about a year now, and I haven’t experienced any numbness in my lips or anywhere else. However, my doctor did warn me about some serious side effects, like muscle pain and liver problems. I would definitely call your doctor and let them know about the numbness. They should be able to help you out!
