I would remind the doc that the FDA requires statin warning labels to include risk for memory loss or confusion because it does happen to some people.
If you didn't experience it with your lower dosage, going back to it might clear things up (per Mayo clinic and others). Only other option is to stop taking it (also per Mayo clinic and others).
