When Having A Severe Reaction To Crestor, What Is The

When having a severe reaction to Crestor, what is the average length of time for the body to normalize (side effects to subside) after discontinuing the medication? I know this is a broad question, but we aren't getting many answers from our practitioner. They are running tests every day and the results seem to be worsening instead of leveling out or getting better. Enzyme counts are through the roof (GGT 1777) (AST 217) (ALT 358) (Bilirubin 9.5), itching is severe, skin and eyes bright yellow, aches are comparable to the flu (previous levels all within the normal range). Urine is still the color of soda, stool has gone from light to green. Crestor was only taken for 5 does and has been discontinued for 5 days now.
