Currently taking crestor (rosuvastatin) 20mg and wish to stop; can i simply cease to take the meds?

Yes: Yes you can stop. My question is why? Have you had an adverse reaction? Do you not like the "concept" of taking a statin? I would much prefer that my patients schedule an appointment to talk about it before stopping it. That way i can explain why I have prescribed and what the benefits are and discuss your concerns with you. The physician-patient relationship should ideally be a partnership.

Yes: You can safely stop Crestor (rosuvastatin) without a withdrawal reaction. However, you should talk with your physician about why you are on it and what long term benefit it might provide.
