A member asked:
Can zocor (simvastatin) be causing my achy shoulders & fuzzy memory?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk To Your Doctor: Statin medications, including zocor, (simvastatin) are known to be associated with muscle aches, pain or weakness. The relationship with memory is controversial and has not been seen in well designed clinical trials. Individuals, however, can have unique reactions to a given medication. You should contact your doctor and discuss options for a time off the medication and reassessment.
