MAybe: Again, the goal cholesterol for any one person is not cookie cutter and is individualized based on your history and risk factors. If you have no risk factors, this is a pretty good lipid panel. If you are diabetic and have heart disease, you need more Crestor (rosuvastatin) and should not think about stopping a statin. Discuss this with your doctor, who knows you better than us!

Yes: Seems like its doing a good job for you. How old are you? Do you smoke? Are you a diabetic? Do you have hypertension? Any family history of premature heart disease? Male or female? Have you had a heart attack or a stroke already? Hope to make you realize the decision making process takes more than just your numbers.

Good, but: Total level is good, but the HDL level is not ideal. Hdl should greater than 40 for males and 50 for females... Not knowing your before-treatment level, it is difficult to say how effective treatment is, but the level seems quite good... More fish/veggies, and aerobic exercises will help increase HDL level...
