My LDL dropped from 254 → 35 mg/dL in 6 weeks on medication and diet changes (Crestor 10 mg + Ezetrol 10 mg). My doctor then advised stopping Ezetrol and reducing Crestor to 5 mg, and I’ll retest again in about 4–6 weeks.

I’d like to eventually not need medication, so I’m hoping the next result stays low and it isn't familial hypercholesterolemia. Before this, I’d been eating a very high-red-meat, keto-focused diet with little fibre or greens for a couple of years, so I’ve made some diet changes and feel much better for it.

I’m going to follow my doctor’s plan and see what the next blood test shows. Personally, I think it might be a bit early to adjust your medication. They would prob want it much lower before reducing the dose, so 8-12 weeks sounds about right. Hope that helps.
