I just started taking zocor, and feel really tired. Is this normal?

Hi Muzz,

Zocor is a statin drug and side effects can include weakness and fatigue.  Statins block the bodies production of coenzyme Q10, which is needed in energy production.  I encourage you to discuss a coenzyme Q10 supplement with your physician.  You may also be interested in the following post and I've also included a link to an article series from Dr. Lundell on statin meds.
