> Has anyone any evidence that statins have caused side effects such as aggression or depression? Cholesterol makes up a large part of the brain so low cholesterol might have an impact, added to which statins have been shown to lower serotonin levels in the synapses. The synapses consist of cholesterol as well. Fatigue and muscle aches and weekness are quite common too apparently. It's a difficult thing to prove but I'd be interested to hear of any experiences

Yes I have heard strong evidence Statins can lead to depression. Interesting that Effexor increases cholesterol.Jay
