75-85. Never had an issue with those. But I did recently add Vascepa for the benefits it showed in reducing risk of an event that was unrelated to its impact on triglycerides.

My trigs have always been in that range. Just wanted to clarify that I don’t take the Vascepa for high trigs, just another harmless well tolerated agent to reduce risk. But it does work for high trigs.

Does taking fenofibrate with statin increase by a lot the risk of rhabdo happening ?
I am currently taking 10 mg pravastatin once a day at night. I originally tried 5 mg rosuvastatin, but did not tolerate it due to GI issues. I also tried ezetimibe (I know, not a statin), but also had GI issues. After those experiences, I researched which statin is least likely to cause such adverse effects and settled on pravastatin. No issues since being on it!
Fenofibrate should be okay. Don't combine gemfibrozil (another drug in the fibrate class) with a statin. This will increase risk of myopathy. Another option is EPA-rich fish oil (Vascepa) to help with triglycerides.

I’ve been on 10mg Ezetimibe, 5mg Rosuvastatin and 1200mg Citrus Bergamot for a month now. I’ll get labs done tomorrow to see if I get any improvement. If I see a trending downward but not too much, I’ll go 10mg Rosuvastatin.
Thankfully, I didn’t see any side effects for the statin other than a little bit of muscle pain mainly in shoulders and back. I increased Ubiquinol to 300-400mg a day and pain is gone!

Why increase rosu dosage? Isn't the general consensus "lower for longer"

I think what you want is your LDL lower for longer. Personally i would run a statin as high as you can (assuming each incremental dosage increase is still leading to a decrease in LDL) then start adding things like Zetia. However, the problem with that is tolerability. As we’ve seen from one of our members here, even Pita isn’t tolerated by everyone. So i would say run your statin at the highest tolerable dosage for as long as you can (keeping in mind what is tolerable can change over time)

Well put. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey guys, I just got my labs done 1 month after I started taking 10mg ezetimibe, 5mg Rosuvastatin and 1200mg of citrus bergamot.
Previous labs
New labs:
This is while I’m on 600Test,, 300Npp and 200mast.
I’ll keep this treatment while blasting and then I’ll reduce or stop it and recheck labs.

Bad advice, always start slow and increased as needed.

Brush up on your reading. Yes you don’t want to start at a high dose. But you want the highest dose you can tolerate assuming each incremental dose increase continued to lower your ldl. There is no such thing as an LDL too low. Anyone who tells you otherwise is ignorant. If 5 mg gives you an LDL of 70 and 10 gives you 40 with no sides, you take 10. If 5 mg gives you an LDL of 90 and 10 mg gives you LDL of 60 but you feel like shit and have myopathy, stay at 5 and add a non statin like zetia or bemp acid. The anti statin community is really stupid. Those who are anti statin but take lots of drugs that cause dyslipidemia are next level retarded.

Looks like I found a good thread here..
I’ve seen you guys got a good knowledge there with cholesterol.
I used to be on gear 12 years ago and never came off of it properly. Going back on TRT now. I’ve got highs cholesterol for years now. And also doctors diagnosed me with hypercholesterolemia.
About two years ago they were giving me Atorvastatin 80mg which just knocked me down. Muslcle ache and other horrible stuff. I told them Its shite so they did 40mg for me of the same.
I stopped taking it and that’s my levels now but least I could function somehow.
(Attached bloodwork)
I’ve got now rosuvastatin 5mg but haven’t taken any yet as I don’t know what’s gonna be and I am fed up with doctors..
I just started with Test C now only 2nd dose so far. But I need to figure out something about my cholesterol… any advice ? Just try the rosuvastatin 5mg and see how it goes ?
@Ghoul @egruberman can I have some of your knowledge here ? I see you got some experience in cholesterol if you can help here please lads
