Sorry, I think statins are a money grab and I'm seeing a lot of long term users here.

Once again, I think the Drs. cover their asses for potential legal issues. They had me on Plavix for over ten years before I talked a Dr. into taking me off of it. It was working, so none of them wanted to take a chance even though the more recent subscriptions said for about a year if I remember correctly.
Highest my Cholesterol has ever been was 166 in 2007 when I was 95% blocked in 4 and they had to do emergency stint procedures. Last month it was just below 120 total. At one time it got down to the low 70s total.
