i cant take lipitor--what other option do i have for cholesterol med, other than statins (allergic)?

Question:

statins cause me severe leg pains and extreme tiredness

If you have trouble with medications due to the side effects, you can try herbal supplements. Red Yeast Rice is real good for lowering cholesterol levels, if they are mild to moderately high.

WHY are you asking for medication advice here??
Do you really want medical advice from a 16 year old working the Slurpee machine at the 7-11 or some bored trucker from Illinois?
