No I haven't.

Be clearer on the details: are you still on Zocor? Did it start after you started taking it? If you have stopped taking it and you still have those problems then you should really go to a doctor.

According to http://www.drugs.com/Zocor/:
What are the possible side effects of simvastatin [Zocor]?
• Rare cases of muscle problems and liver problems have been associated with the use of simvastatin and other similar medicines. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, especially if accompanied by a fever or flulike symptoms or yellowing of the skin or eyes, abdominal pain, unexplained fatigue, dark colored urine or pale colored stools. These may be early symptoms of muscle or liver problems.

Omega-3s will help with those things, but if they are caused by a drug then they can't fix them completely. Probably the best way to get omega-3 is fish oil...
