Title: Choloesterol Meds
Post by Kenoman29 on Jun 11^th, 2011 at 3:52pm

Since I am having a BRUTAL time trying to get rid of these cluster headaches, let alone getting them under control with the neurologists' help (it's been 4 months now at the time of this post). I have heard that if you take a number of cholesterol meds, it can slow your recovery rate down, or it can interract with the preventive meds you take for your cluster headaches, perhaps even make your pain greater. Has anyone else heard that? I take 20mg Lipitor, 15mg Zetia, and 1200mg Gemfibrozil all on a daily basis.

I haven't seen anyone post that problem here before. I did a couple of forum searches on cholesterol meds/drugs/interactions and couldn't find anything.

I did not tolerate the cholesterol meds very well, but not sure if they affected my CHs. I do know I was recently directed to begin taking Fish Oil caps for cholesterol control, and since I began taking them anyway as 123 days pf thread dictates, was delighted to find they could help both issues. Take a look at the thread. Blessings. lance
