I was recently prescribed rosuvastatin (my first time taking any statin), and I had some very intense brain fog. How would you describe the feeling of what you experienced? The best way I could describe it to my friends and family was that I felt like I lost a quarter of my IQ and slept only 5 hours every night(I was getting great sleep, it just felt that way).
It was such a strange feeling. It's a weird feeling to know you're brain just isn't working as it has always worked.
My experience with them was a brain fog so bad I could hardly do my engineering job effectively. Quite unfortunate as I've read that side effect isn't very common.
For as much as I've learned in the last 10 years of being a software engineer, I've frankly forgotten at least half of the maths I once knew.
Of course, I could take the time to re-learn it all if need be, but I'm definitely thankful to have went straight from high school into college. Having to re-learn everything just to be at baseline would make the whole experience far less enjoyable. Kudos to those that have done so.
