I was on Zocor for 3+ years because of very high cholesterol (290-320), high LDL and high tryglicerides. I also take Sinemet, Permax, Mirapex and Eldepryl for PD. I had no drug interraction problems, but the Zocor didn't help much either. Then, 6 weeks ago I was switched to Lipitor and within one month my cholesterol dropped over 100 points and all the rest of the numbers went in the right direction. Marvelous! No drug interraction there either.
