Atorvastatin
"I'm a 47 yr old overweight female.  I've had high blood pressure my entire life but never cholesterol issues.  I went in for blood work in Jan. 16 and was shocked to learn my LDL-p (particle count) was off the charts at 2,800 (should be 700 range) and my LDL small particle count was 1,500 (should be under 500).  Additionally all my blood lipids were way out of range.  I was given 40 mg of atorvastatin but after reading how horrible statins were, I got scared and only took 1/2 daily.  I just got my labs redone and since January-April (3 full months), all my blood lipids are in normal, optimal range.  I did alot of research on the effectiveness of lower dose statins and have not had any issues with taking 1/2 my pill daily.  Results speak."
