Tearfulness and simvastatin
      25/06/2009 21:10

I'm not usually a "down person" (as opposed to genuine depression), but the last few weeks I've been hovering on the verge of tears for no apparent reason.

It seems to coi-incide with taking simvastatin. And a few other symptoms too.

I've stopped taking it, and feel a lot better.

But..I don't want to be a scare monger, and I know that I may be taking other health risks by not taking it. I will go back to the doctor to reassess the risks.

Hpowever I do feel so much better, and I know that the depression is not "me" but the drugs.

It just proves depression is a chemical thing, drug induced as in my case, or drug induced as in natural hormone imbalance.
