No link handy, apologies. When I started looking into statins re concerns for my mom I learned that decline in cognitive function is a known effect. Can happen in as little as a couple of months or take as long as years. Physician took mom off statin couching it as they (medical standard of care) usually take patients off statins after the patients are in their 80s, *not* because of the issue I brought up about cognitive decline. I'll never know for sure. Mom holding mentally re decline, but no recovery of function.😞
*edit - Farther down on this board (different thread) comment by @ASK about statins and cholesterol states something you may find helpful.
