Rosuvastatin and mood changes

My doctor prescribed rosuvastatin 10mg per day for me, and I've started taking it twice now. I was OK for the first day or so, but after the second and third days, I started to have fairly severe mood swings and anger-control issues. The first time, I had something that should have only caused mild concern turn into a panic attack. I stopped rosuvastatin, and things went back to normal.

This second time, I sent an angry reply to a colleague and had to send another message to him apologizing for it. I yelled at my cat when he was resisting being medicated. None of this is like my usual personality. In between, I was feeling really disconnected, sad, and hopeless, like I was about to cry.

I know these are rare side effects. I'm wondering if starting at lower doses and raising them gradually might allow me to adapt.

My doctor had prescribed atorvastatin to me, but it made me insanely hungry and anxious all the time. I had hoped rosuvastatin would work for me since my mother used to take it and seemed to experience no ill effects.
