Lovastatin - the Lipitor was expensive because it is not generic. I don't always take it though makes my stomach feel nasty. Does your doc says bulemia raises it too? I have done so much damage to myself with throwing up and starving...its pretty ridiculous - you would think that after you damage your teeth and esophagus you would get a clue or at least get the crap scared out of you... They say some people are able to manage cholestral with proper nutrition - maybe you'll be one of them :)
