Depleted CoQ10: Statin drugs deplete tissues of coq10 which is made in every cell during energy production. Since the brain is the most energy demanding organ, it is most affected by a decrease in energy production. Coq10 can be supplemented. It is a fat soluble nutrient so is best taken with a meal for better absorption.

Possibly: Possibly, but not likely at all. If this persists, see your family doctor.
