Carey88,

What a great Mum you have and I am so glad to know you have her in your life to come and be with you.  I was dx just a year ago with high cholesterol - My LDL is in the high range - ouch!  We rechecked it in March of 2012 and it was the same so My Dr. ordered a medication.  After 5 days I found the medication did not agree with me so I went to healthy eating and weight loss. 

Did you start both new meds on the same day ?  It is well known that getting onto an antidepressant is often a struggle but also getting on to a statin can have some side effects too.  You may want to talk to your Dr. re the side effects of both drugs so you know what to expect.

You are right, once you hit the bottom the only way is up so believe that things will get better.

Hi Carey,

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Just wanted to let you know a success story as far as high cholesterol and antidepressants. I am on both and have no problems. High cholesterol is very treatable with prescription drugs. My cholesterol count used to be in the high 200's but since being put on prescription (Crestor) it now is down to the mid 100's.

Hope that things resolve for you in a good way. If you continue to have bad nights, see your psychiatrist or your medical doctor. Give them a chance to work it out.

Also, glad to hear you had your mum to help you. We all need support and we deserve it!

Cheers,
