Catbird84,
There have been cases of statin drugs mimicing the effects of alsheimers. In the least one if the side effects for SOME people is excessive absent mindedness. Someone told me his coworker had to stop using it as it was effecting his job performance.
Read about a NASA scientist that would get bouts of amnesia but when taken off of the statin drug it stopped. His doctor skeptical it was the drug put him back on the drug to determine if it was the cause, and sure enough his amnesia came back.
Keep in mind it apparently effects only a small percentage of people this way. Just hoping on some chance your problems aren't alsheimers!
I started taking generic version of Lipitor and before I looked up some of the side effects killed a tank full of bluegills. Pulled the knife gate valve to drop the water level a little and walked away. Never came back for several hours. That's not like me. Needless to say 100 8 to 12 ounce bluegills in the bottom of a dry tank isn't a pretty sight. Maybe nothing to do with the drug and just old age. Who knows?
Catbird84 wish I could give you some advice. I'll be praying for your health.
