I've been on Simvastatin 40mg for almost 4 years now. In the first year or two there were a couple times where I thought I was experiencing side effects like described above - some soreness and fatigue mainly - so I went off for 30+ days to see what happened. No difference! So, in my case I chalked it up to getting older and trying to keep up with my young kids and stressful job.
Over this span I did lose 30 pounds, quit drinking, improved my diet somewhat, and started sleeping a bit more. That has made a huge improvement in my overall well-being and probably my non-medicated numbers as well. I'm thinking about asking my doc to lower the dose to 20mg. I doubt it makes sense for me to go off completely as high cholesterol and some heart disease runs in my family.
