No I haven't. But I always say, take as much as you can afford!

At least 300mg a day. The people with CNS issues, PD, Friedrich's ataxia take 3 or 4 grams a day. They buy theirs from some other supplier.

Some people get GI upset from CoQ-10... so that might limit intake, too.

People with statin induced PN, would benefit from acetyl carnitine and r-lipoic acid. All of these work on the mitochondria.
And I am thinking the d-ribose might help. It sure is helping with my stamina this summer! Ribose increases synthesis of ATP, ADP and AMP in the mitochondria. Statins damage mitochondria, as one of their nasty effects.

Fish oil (or the new Krill oil) too for its anti-inflammatory effects.

Perhaps there will be more on statin induced damage once the patents on Lipitor and Crestor are expired. A new one has emerged too by Kowa Pharmaceuticals from Japan. Pitavastatin.
Here is a glowing report (as usual) about how wonderful this statin is supposed to be:

As the patents expire, the secrets long held often come out. At least they have for the SSRIs.
