[[Alarmed, the couple turned to the study’s organisers. “They were very hostile.]]
Well of course, they were taking statins too
[[tales of broken marriages, destroyed careers, and a surprising number of men who have come unnervingly close to murdering their wives. In almost every case, the symptoms began when they started taking statins, then promptly returned to normal when they stopped]]
Come on- this is all anecdotal evidence- We don’t know what hte variables were- did they happen to encounter stressful situations that they hadn’t before? Did they change their diet at all? Were they getting enough sleep? You could just as well make the claim that they chewed gum during their aggressive period,s but ‘quickly returned to normal’ once they quit chewing the gum- Or when they cut down on the coffee they consumed, or soda with caffeine, or ask whether they had quit smoking during these periods- or or or-
High blood pressure can cause anger issues and marriage problems- Stress certainly does cause problems- stimulants can too-
Where are the large scale controlled studies that these things were a direct result of the certain drug?
While it’s fine ot say that ‘There MAY be a connection”, and suggest further large scale controlled studies need to be done it’s kinda not very responsible to try to make a case that there IS a connection based on anecdotal evidences- Millions of people take statins and are fine (That’s not to say there couldn’t’ be an issue, but it’s pretty good long term proof that the drug is fairly safe)
You’re being far too logical and reasonable here. Knock it off.
