Cholesterol results: If you are on Simvastatin now then these perfect cholesterol numbers are exactly what one would expect on a drug like this. It is working and there is no reason to stop this and go back to increased arterial and heart risk. If you are not already on Simvastatin and this is the results you get without medication you do not need to add it at this point.
