Why even pick up the statins? The doctor doesn’t know what medications I am actually taking, so I save the copay and use it to buy flush niacin instead.
Sorry about the cancer KittenClaws.I will pray for you.I did the same thing when I had my stoke.Doc prescribed it and I thew it out.

Thanks, We’ve got it under control now, looks like it anyway. Even with the oncology doctor, I read up on every prescribed medication. If I don’t like the listed possible/likely side effects, I won’t take it - but I tell him so and he usually explains to my satisfaction benefits vs side effects or changes the prescription.
I had to take the chemo infusions, but after 4 rounds he wanted to leave in the port just in case I needed more. I refused anymore infusions in no uncertain terms and an appointment was made to have the port removed. Kind of pissed him off, but he has followed my wishes and continues to treat me for other issues. I hated that thing under my skin, it was creepy and uncomfortable.
