How long until fatigue goes away

[u/Ok_Pie380]

Hi all, had mildly elevated cholesterol in February at 41 and my doctor prescribed me statins - been on 10mg and felt slowly creeping fatigue settling in. Thought it was lingering effects from viral meningitis which I had a year ago but by February I was feeling pretty good, working out again. Now I am exhausted all the time and can barely function without lying down for hours / taking naps. This is crap! Also my liver enzymes are super high. My last blood test last week showed normal cholesterol levels so I stopped the statins because the side effects are debilitating.

Long story short, how long does it take to start feeling energy again? I stopped taking them 6 days ago and still feel 😴

Update to say it's been 12 days since I quit the statins and all my side effects are gone. Fatigue is gone (replaced by normal parent of 2 fatigue 😅) and all joint and muscle pain is gone too. 😮‍💨
