High Cholesterol, Familial Heterozygous
"Started on simvastatin about a year ago and 6 weeks into taking the medicine, my LDL was down about 40 points.  About a month ago, the pharmacy switched generics (prescription came with a heads up that the color and shape of pill might be different). Now suddenly, I&#039;m suffering from a swollen tongue and numbness of tongue and upper pallet.  Not sure if this is due to the new generic (pharmacist says only the filler and dye would have changed)...but it&#039;s gotten so annoying that I went to doctor today for blood tests."
