After my statin poisoning (suspected) I went off of them and cholesterol went from 180 to 275. My trig. were a little high at 175, so I agreed to slo-niacin (750 units, more causes problems), and upped O-3s to upward 3000 mgs a day. Now trig. are below HDL, and cholesterol total down to 230 or so. I will not take statins, lacking evidence that I have a condition for which statins would have a 'number needed to treat' of below 5. Which at this time is about none, save young men who have had heart problems - maybe.
