Suggest Treatment For Muscle And Leg Pain

Hello, I was in pravastatin for years, 3+. Ended up not feeling good on them, muscle and leg pain. In June 2014 went on Crestor for a month. Felt worse. September 2014 went on Zetia. Feel just ok. Not great. What worries me is that my ATL went from 20 to 34 in a year. Is zetia safe and ok on my liver? I do drink wine, a couple glasses a few times a week? Just worried! Thank you
