That class of drug was conceived for post heart attack treatment, then they figured they could make a fortune if everyone was on it. I need to find another doctor, this guy loves to write tickets for EVERYTHING. Then again, today most people are lazy and want quick easy answers and a pill to solve their problems.

Just tell the doc "no." It's your body. When I wanted to lower my cholesterol I just googled what to eat, and almonds was the easiest to add and cheese easiest to remove (but I still love me some smoked gruyere...). It can be done, just find what works and stick with it.
