Suggest Side Effects Of Pravastatin

Started Pravastatin 20 mg tablet one month ago. I have been vomiting but this has gotten less frequent. I have lost 10 pounds, have a rash and bruise easily. Past crainotomy for brain anerysums and have epilepsy. I m currently taking Lyrica and Methadone for Cervical problems. Could the Pravastatin cause more harm than good for me?
