What Causes Dizziness And Migraines While On Crestor?

I ve been taking Crestor and after a few months am experiencing dizziness and migraines (many medications cause those for me). I stopped taking it and the migraines have abated and the dizziness is less pronounced, but the nausea and indigestion continue (I stopped at the end of October). I had to stop taking it daily and reduce it to every other day, but the side effects came back. My plan is to wait a month or so then try taking it twice a week (doctor ok d this)...the every other day did put my numbers in a good zone - my cholesterol is high due to familial factors. Does this sound like a viable plan?
