For the last three and half months, I have been taking atorvastatin 10 mg (Lipivas). I used to take it after dinner as recommended. Overall, the effect is good in terms of total cholesterol and LDL reduction. It reduced both total cholesterol and LDL-C to 40% of its previous levels.
Negative effects:
1. Increased anxiety and low mood
2. Increased stuttering
3. Increased sleepiness
4. Lack of focus and concentration
Positive effects:
1. Slightly increased libido with more lubrication
2. Slightly more strong erections
Sometimes, I have to take tryptophan 500 mg to increase fluent speech. Also, I have to take it in the afternoon to dampen its effect next morning. When it is combined with a multivitamin tablet/capsule, the stuttering was more pronounced. Lack of sleep increased the stuttering in this set up.
