A member asked:
I plan to begin taking panethine, 600mg to lower cholesterol and stop taking atorvastatin. according to a previous post, i should be able to simply stop taking atorvastatin without complications?

Changes in meds: Should be done only under the care of your prescriber as goals and change in meds may result in side effects and losing beneficial effects of previous meds. Statins in general can be discontinued abruptly with no known immediate undesired effects.
