Question other statin question

Hi,

I have a doctor's appt. Thursday. He called to let me know that my cholesterol was elevated and that was something he wanted to discuss w/ me on Thursday. Right now I am not on any cholesterol lowering meds and if possible, would like to be on one that also helped lower testosterone. I will ask my doctor about simvastatin but I recall reading somewhere that lovastatin may also lower testosterone. Has anyone else heard this as well? The reason being is my drug coverage insurance is not the greatest (I pay half regardless of generic or brandname) and I noticed simvastatin is a lot more expensive because it's not in generic form. Thanks.
