" Sorry to tell ya this, I took both Lipitor and Zocor, had muscle pains with both. If Zocor is causing nausea, I would contact your doctor.. Five days of nausea is too much.
Take Care "

" i've been on zocor twice and got tremendous muscle pain both times. the first time i had trouble walking, but i am..or was, an active runner. i've heard that the muscle pain is relative to how active you are. either way, i've switched to Crestor now and have had much less trouble...additionally crestor is more potent.
