After six weeks on Crestor (10mg) my total decreased from 278 to 132. Also, my HDL increased from 30 to 33. My LDL particle count was a tremendous surprise decreasing from >2700 to 1465. Also the LDL particle size increased significantly. Crestor along with lifestyle changes in diet and a very aggressive exercise program is working well for me. Still need to get that HDL count higher.

fxstc,

Good numbers; make sure you throw in some fish oils to get the HDL up. I went from 28 to 35 on Lipitor alone, but then to 58 with cod liver oil (and lecithin?)
