joint pain, back and shoulder pain, arm pain, numbness and tingling in the hands. edema of hands and ankles. blurred vision and memory loss. arthritic type pain in all joints. i could barely get out of bed in the morning or walk up stairs. i was depressed that. i realized that i felt better in the late afternoon and evening. i had been taking the lipitor at night. therefore, i knew that its effects were wearing off at that time. i've stopped it for 3 days and feel 100% better. very scary drug. | back pain | back pain |
have been on lipitor over 5 yrs. as time has passed, i have developed foot, shin, knee, thigh and hip pain. shoulder, arm and hand pain - am having balance problems, clumsiness and some memory loss. i have had problem with bloating and flatulence big time. dr just took me off lipitor and effexor for depression. only 2 weeks off. so no noticeable change as yet. had an mri last week to rule out multiple sclerosis or any brain problems i hope - have not gotten results as yet. lipitor reduced my cholesterol total greatly from 274 to 160. hdl went up and ldl and triglicerides went down. but looks like the side effects are going to cause me to change meds or quit taking them. do the gym 3x a week and walk. am not totally sedentary and watch what i eat. but i am a cholesterol mfg. (so is my sister). right now, i am just hurting. and want to find out why. stay tuned. | clumsiness | clumsiness |

my doctor prescribed 10mg of lipitor 3 years ago. this past september he increased the dosage to 20mg. shortly after, i became extremely fatigued and had headaches. i had to leave work around 1 pm daily. i went back to the doctor. he said it could be my thyroid. blood test was normal. the dr didn't look further. i then started to experience knee pain,,,severe knee pain. my daughter forwarded this web site to me & i believe it's saving my life. i called my dr and told him that i knew it was the lipitor effecting me. he told me to stop taking it for 2 weeks,,,,i've been off the lipitor for 1 week. the knee pain has greatly subsided and i'm less fatigued. the headaches are gone. | fatigued | fatigue |

i took it for about 8 years, starting at age 25, with no side effects (at least, nothing i attributed to the lipitor). went off on a couple occasions to have a baby then right back on. after 8 years, suddenly started having severe weaknesses in my legs, specifically thigh muscles felt like i had been trying to run marathons with no exertion. went off lipitor and pain went away. now i'm on crestor and just started having even worse side effects :o(. this medication did help lower my cholesterol, i was close to 300 when i started it (and i did eat healthy and exercise moderately at the time, it's hereditary for me). and i was taking 40 mg. to get my cholesterol down around 200. my mother has taken it for even longer at max dose (80 mg) and has had no side effects she attributes to the medication. the bottom line is, listen and pay attention to your body. everyone's body is different and some people can't take the same thing! my brother also tried lipitor and he couldn't tolerate it, it made him fall asleep!. | pain | pain |

i am writing this for my husband--memory loss, tremors in right hand, symptoms of parkinson's disease. since lipitor causes a decrease in coenzyme q10 and now there is a study in the archives of neurology showing that using large doses of coenzyme q10 slows the progression of parkinson's disease, i wonder how many others have experienced a diagnosis of parkinson's having been on lipitor? we began questioning the role of lipitor in parkinson's when my niece's husband who is 57 was experiencing the same symptoms as my husband(the 57 yr old was diagnosed with parkinson's 2 weeks ago) and the major factor in common between the 2 of them--lipitor for 4+ yrs. not worth the risks of taking the drug. will now control cholesterol with diet and exercise. | tremors in right hand | tremor |

on lipitor for 4 years. reduced cholesterol levels to normal but since taking lipitor i've developed horrible pain in both shoulders and left knee. sleeping has become extemely difficult due to pain. have to sleep in a chair most nights. orthopedist seems to think its normal aging (i'm only 55) and internist is skeptical that lipitor is the culprit. i have also noticed that i have short term memory loss and am easily fatigued. after reading the entries on this site i'm stopping the lipitor today and we'll see the result. | horrible pain in both shoulders | arthralgia |

weak muscles. achey like when you have a very high fever, only without the fever. elevated white blood cell count (very high), but liver emzymes were normal. i was on lowest dose. my ldl started at 90, but md insisted that because i am diabetic, i should be on lipitor and try to get below 70. lipitor knocked it down to 25. i do not know if the problems were due to lipitor, or having ldl down to 25. i asked md he stated they (whomever they are), have not established a low threshold for what is safe . i stated that just because it has not been proven in a lab, does not mean it is not true. i went off the meds, and am now in search of a new md, as i have felt worse under this dr care than ever before in my life. | elevated white blood cell count (very high) | white blood cell count abnormal |

heavy aching legs, especially in the morning. never considered it a side effect before reading about it. certainly nothing i can't live with unless it worsens and after 10 yrs i doubt that will happen. 4 yrs on zocor then 6 on lipitor(40mg). cholestrol went from 300 to 200. | heavy aching legs | discomfort |
serious hands & feet cramping, weakness, painful inflamation of joints/knuckles and significant strength reduction. persistent feeling of tiredness and overall muscle soreness/weakness/fatigue. all symptoms worse upon waking. i significanlty lowered my chol by using 10mg lipitor and excercising. however, for months i attributed all my pains to my busy schedule and my exercise routine. i went from a 36 year-old who can do 60 min of cardio/45 min of free weights every other day, to someone who can barely pick up his 15 mo. son. my life right now is a disaster. i've been off it 2 weeks and the pain has only subsided 20%. i can barely walk when i wake in the morning. i cannot get anything done around the house. my life right now is depressing until i get back to normal. all exercise has ceased and my wife picks up the slack for chores around the house that i cannot do. i have never experienced symptoms like these in my life. i am hoping this goes away soon and doesn't cause any long term damage. i cannot say that i'd do it over again. in fact, at my risk, i doubt i'll take any meds willingly if i can. drug companies really downplay the side effects. i know how this goes, i work with stats too!. | persistent feeling of tiredness | fatigue |

inflamatory muscle pain and soreness in upper back, head pain and pressure and the feeling of being in a fog. extremely dangerous drug! i have never had these problems until i started lipitor. i have discontinued it 2 weeks ago with now a 40% reduction in side effects but the pain is still really bad. does anyone know how long it will take for the side effects to completely go away? will they go away? lipitor lowered my cholesterol from 268 to 163 but it nearly killed me in return. it's not worth it. the doctor told me i was imagining all this and said it was so safe it should be in the drinking water supply. can you believe that! this drug is an extremely dangerous poison. the pfizer website is very low-key about the side effects. you better take matters into your own hands as pfizer's only concern is profits - not your health. | head pressure | head discomfort |

extreme muscle pain in arms and shoulders particularly in bed at night. i was on a very high dose (80mg)as i had two heart attacks attributable to blockages. i have been off them for 4 weeks with only a small amount of improvement. i have heard it can take several months to get back to any where near normal. | extreme muscle pain in shoulders | pain |
