I am concerened about starting Zocor because of the side effet of depression. It scares me to death that one of the side effects of Zocor is depression. I know I need to lower my cholesterol. Depression is NOT a common side effect of Zocor and there are quite a few other lipid lowering drugs to chose from if this one does not work out. I hope this information is useful.
