Posted on Wed, 13 Jul 2016
Question: Does crestor cause fatigue, drowsiness, sleepness, and sinus drainage?

That is my only question. Since taking Crestor, I have been fatigued, I am not sleeping well, my legs have become uncommonly weak and shaky,and I am wondering if Crestor does any of this.

Brief Answer:
YES

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for straightforward question.

There is a high possibility that CRESTOR (Rosuvastatin) can cause the such side effects described by you. Muscle cramps, unusual tiredness are very commonly described by the users.
However they get used to it over a period of time. So if you are new user you can try it for few more days. If you have been using for longer time then you can go back to your doctor for change in dose or change in generic.

Hope this answers your question. If you do not have any more queries please close and rate my answer. If you have I am free to answer further.
