My mother had the same results w/both Rx. I've been on Zocor for about a year but since Lipitor is a bit cheaper & it supposed to help triclicerides better, I've asked to switch but haven't started taking the lipitor yet as I still have a few Zocor left. It is my personal opinion that cholesterol numbers are in the genes. Dad is the pwp & he does not have a cholesterol problem.
