What Causes Severe Insomnia And Muscle Ache While On Pravastatin?

hi I am a 52 yr woman that is on 60 mg of Pravastatin, plus 125mcg of levothyroxine. I have terrible insomnia. muscle aches, due to lack of energy, I am certain. I have been doing this now for two years, although my blood tests have improved greatly, except my triglycerides are still a bit high, I feel worse now. am I on too high of a dose? even my parents wo are both in their mid and late seventies aren t on this high of a statin drug dose. and honestly, my local doctor is not much help.
