I've Tried Some Statin Drugs And They Have Caused Muscle

I've tried some statin drugs and they have caused muscle pain. At doctor's today and he has given me samples of Livalo 2 mg. Suggests taking it just twice a week to see how I tolerate it with idea something is better than nothing. In your opinion, will I get very much benefit from taking just two times a week as opposed to daily as recommended? I might add I have been taking Red Yeast Rice 2 per day for some time.
