Not as a statin therapy replacement

I did my own personal test in this regard. Stopped taking statin (was having muscle weakness problems) and blew a 280 on the cholesterol test. Went with Omega-via (I know it's not Vascepa, but I'm not up for $600 for a three month supply WITH the coupon) Next cholesterol test with only Omega-via was 260. A reduction, but not enough.

I'm on Crestor now, any thoughts on side effects? The muscle problem may return?

Also, since I'm bothering you all anyway, any thoughts on Red Yeast? I know the US version was declawed a few years ago rendering it ineffective but the Euro version is purported to still having cholesterol reduction properties.

TIA.
