I had to lie down for an<br \/>\nhour or two, but when I skipped the Atorvastatin, I didn\u2019t have these symptoms. I knew I<br \/>\nneeded to do something for cholesterol control, so I started drinking black puer tea.<br \/>\nI have been drinking this for ten weeks now, and I just had my cholesterol and blood<br \/>\nsugar retested.

Thank you, Larry. By the way, I\u2019ve lost my taste for my daily cafe au lait.<br \/>\n*My initial dosage of Atorvastatin was 10 mg. per day which I tolerated without side<br \/>\neffects; but, when the dosage was upped to 20 mg., I eventually had problems.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some years I had taken the statin drug Atorvastatin* to control my cholesterol but stopped taking the drug around April of this year as it was making me feel ill, lightheaded, nauseous,\u2014just a general feeling of weak all over.
