Started out taking 3 40mg tabs a week and then to 7 days a week to bring LDL within normal limits. When I went to 7 days a week, I noticed an immediate insomnia issue. Anyone else with the same symptoms?

I suffer mental health problems and lovastatin caused me to experience suicidal depression within one day of taking 40mg daily. Obviously I stopped taking it. User, beware!

After 2 hours I got very sick like the flu and a migrane headache that I had to go to bed and this is the second day after and my stomach still gets sharp pains when I drink hot tea. I already take Prilosec by Doctors orders and I also Take Verapmil, I want to know if the Lovastatin and Verapmil does not mix well. I am going to talk with my MD.
