Reaction to Medicine

by 28yomigranesuff, Mar 04, 2008 07:51AM
I am wondering if anyone has taken simvastatin, the generic brand for Zocor. I just started taking this on Friday and twice since then I seem to have had some strange side effects. It has caused an upset stomach and then made me feel very jittery. It was almost as if I had the chills and then both nights had a horrible time sleeping. The only similar item I ate or drank was Diet Cranberry Soda. I am not sure if this would have had an impact. Any insight would be great.

Thanks

I have reactions to all medications that are a generic brand.  They use some sort of "filler" in generic brands that I am highly sensitive to.  I know the brand name costs more; however, it is worth it if you have side effects.  My side effects range from crawly skin to coughs to aching muscles.

Hope this helps.

I have been taking Simvastatin for about two months and have not experienced any adverse side effects,
