I doubt you had a lipid profile right before the back problem started so
that the intervening time may have been more than just a week or so.prior test was in April, ldl was 96.
That was 4-5 months ago.

One other factor - about 6 wks. ago I did switch taking my Zocor from
9pm to the mornings with food. Now I wonder if that made the
difference.
It can. The former was more optimal. Taking with supper/dinner is the
most optimal for most people.
Quoted message said:I'd be willing to switch back to taking them before bed
and see what results, rather than increasing dosage.
Would suggest you get an OK from your doctor(s).
Quoted message said:btw, a friend convinced his doctor to lower his statin dosage, he
religiously followed proper diet and exercise regimens for 3 months,
but it didn't matter a jot.
I suspect he did not achieve any lasting weight loss.
Quoted message said:Back he went on the original dosage.
Such may be my fate and I may just have to accept the higher dosage.
Time will tell.
