i've been on 75mg twice daily for 13 days, with recent body swelling, face, wrists, abdomen, thighs - clothes fit tight. insomina is much worse. i have forgetfulnes and confussion - really bad - almost dangerous. have felt "empty stomach" feeling, but not bothersome. have had more loose stools, but tolerable. i'm looking for a more natural therapy, checking into ha (hyaluronic acid) to replace arthrotec.

recently wrote about my husband who was diagnosed with parkinson's--he stopped lipitor 4 months ago, and began mega doses of coq10 -and other antioxidants and magnesium orotate- 4 weeks ago--memory problem has disappeared, tremor decreased to a minor. we think my husband's symptoms of parkinson's was caused by/brought on by lipitor's lowering of coq10 and interrupting many other metabolic pathways within the body including selenium production. time is required to determine if reversal of symptoms permanent. have received letter about a case of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis dianosis changed to.

took lipitor for over a year with no negative effects, then gradually developed terrible joint pain, couldn't move shoulders, hips hurt, had to push out of chair like old person. stopped taking it after almost 2 years; it really lowered cholesterol, but at cost of terrible joint pain, loss of sleep, shoulder and hip pain and loss of range of motion. stopped, and pains lessened in one week; took months for it all to go away.

the side effects came slowly and it took me a while to make the connection. i slowly started experiencing pain in one shoulder joint then the other. then deep muscle pain in the muscle of one arm then the other. finally after the muscles in my chest started aching and insomnia had set in. i called my doctor who took me off the 10 mg. dosage. looking back i realize now that i had symptoms early on but chose to overlook them. bad choice on my part. i hope now that the 9 months of taking these meds hasn't caused permanent damage !!. after reading more about the medication i can only say that for me. i am done with taking statins. i will control my cholesterol by losing weight,exercise and diet. it did lower my total cholesterol and my ldl's but the effect it had on my overall well being was too devastating.

i added a rating about a month ago. at that time, i just stopped taking lipitor after only three weeks because of the major side effects i experienced. many of the side effects have lifted however i am still experiencing sore and stiff hips, knees, ankles and feet. i feel like the lower half of my body belongs to a much older person than me, i'm only 48 years old but feel 90. i am very concerned that i may have permanent damage done to my legs because of only three weeks on this drug. is anyone else experiencing this lasting effect from lipitor?.

started on 10mg, dose doubled to 20mg then to 40 mg. experienced severe muscle pains, cramps, sore leg joints which increased with raising of dose, walking more than a few hundred yards became difficult. i did not associate symptoms with tablets until i researched the web. i have stopped taking the tablets for nearly a month now and and i am much improved, though my knees still ache. hdl/ldl balance much improved, but i would not want to start taking lipitor again as i feel it disrupted my life considerably. even though statistically (anecdotally)i am part of a small minority suffering side effects, i would still urge caution when taking this medication.

it did lower my cholesterol, but i became so depressed that i called my doctor and told her i refused to take it anymore. i think this effect may have been caused by an interaction with the birth control pill. it lowered my numbers, but made my life miserable.

i am the advocate for my father who took this drug for 8 months before he passed from an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2005. the patient data is reported for him by me. briefly, my research during my advocacy efforts during his illness indicated that this drug may have contributed to the onset of his particular form of brain cancer (glial cell related cancer). that cancer was diagnosed 6 months after his initial rx for lipitor -- he died 2 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. there were no warning signs, deterioration was very fast and debilitating -- he was a model totally healthy individual by conventional medical standards. my father was vibrant and could work any teen into the ground for a 75 year old, had great cholesterol numbers, but he was a cardiac patient. he and the cardiologist agreed to go to lipitor to see if they could drive ldl below 100 (his lipid profile was very, very good by usual medical standards). i will say that there was no way any doctor could have known this would happen (my research showed that lipitor could contribute to this cancer with prior risk factors for it which would have to have been environmental exposure and from what i know of my father's work history experience), but it would help if conventional medicine would listen to patients and their families about experiences that we all are reporting in places such as this. my father could not speak for himself as his form of brain cancer was so aggressive that he went from a totally normal guy walking with a cane from initial neurological damage at inital dx for brain cancer to bedridden, unable to speak, feed himself, do anything for himself in 10 days. don't know if this will really help anybody -- but just please be cautious with rx medicines and advocate for yourself; you may not know everthing, but you do know best about what you are experiencing with these rxs. keep doing your research, tell your doctor anything you find relevent about your life as it relates to rxs you are given, and advocate hard for your quality of life.

extreme joint pain. first started as a stiff neck. that went away, then it was my knee. the pain has since radiated to wrists and hips. i felt general malaise and depression. when shopping, i needed a cart for support. this is very unlike me. i have been on this drug for almost 3 years. i have a very high tolerance to pain, so i hesitated to call my doctor thinking the pain would go away. when i did call, his advice, get off the lipitor ! i was glad to find this site to compare my side effects with others.

i female, 5 feet 7 and a half inches tall, 117 lbs. i do not smoke and have never smoked. i do not have high blood pressure, nor have i ever had it. i am not diabetic. i am 45 and a half years old and was on 20 mg of lipitor due to genetically high ldl for a period of seven months. at that point, i started having terrible, migratory joint pain all over my body that was very distinct and pronounced. i also had disabling fatigue and flu-like malaise. some nights i would go to bed at 6 pm and not get up until 8 or 9 the next morning. i was quite ill. my doctor did tons of lab work to rule out things like rheumatoid arthriitis, lupus, lyme disease and active parvovirus infection. these all came back negative. finally, i was taken off lipitor to see if the drug had anything to do with my symptoms. within 72 hours i noted an improvement; within seven days, the symptoms were completely gone and i was restored to health. i will not ever take lipitor again as i believe it is liver-toxic and slowly poisons the patient. it did a great job of lowering my ldl (173 down to 60). my total cholesterol went from 238 down to 143. however, it nearly killed me in the process and i believe it is almost like a slow-acting poison.
