Is This A Side Effect
i have been taking these tablets in 40mg dose since i had a stroke 3 months ago and ever since i have been feeling sick more so on waking in the morning, but can carry on through out the day also terrible diarrhea, i have been back to the docs and this is the second lot of anti sickness tablets they have prescribed me, they have taken most of the sickness of during the day, but as soon as i awake in a morning i am straight to the toilet gaging, they also gave me some anti diarrhea tables which do work but i find i am having to take them 3 to 4 times a week, i don't think this is right and nobody should have to put up with this, i was told in the hospital when it all started that it we probably the simvastatin tablets, the doctor just said i cannot stop taking them as i need them , but all this is really getting me down, has any one else had these side effects, plus the most horrible taste i have been getting in my mouth

Itchy Skin
taking simvastatin about 4 months great itchy skin reaction, nothing is relieving. do not see this posted as a side effect. Not using grapefruit juice, what else might it be interacting with to cause this great discomfort.
