for about 15 months i experienced severe fatigue, and initially for about three months very bad headaches which diminished in intensity but never completely went away. insomnia, i would wake up at 3:00 am and be unable to go back to sleep. difficulty in swallowing and constipation. i went to 3 different doctors for these symptoms. all of them dismissed my view that maybe the lipitor was causing all of this even though the symptoms started about 3 weeks after uping the dosage from 20 mg. to 40. i quit taking lipitor about a week ago - thanks in part to this web site. within 3 days i was no longer consistently waking up at 3:00 am unable to go back to sleep. headaches seem to be dissipating as well, and the extreme fatigue is disappearing. i don't expect md's to be knowledgeable about every drug and i recognize that this drug has probably saved a lot of lives, but it is the attitude that i find irresponsible, that these problems couldn't possibly be caused by lipitor since as all the doctors said.

indigestion - never had it before and stopped when i stopped taking the statin. chest pains waking me up at night - never had it before and stopped when i stopped taking the statin. neuropothy in right hand & arm - never had it before and stopped when i stopped taking the statin. . i believe it is totally unnecessary for healthy people. we need cholesterol. in trying to reduce it, statins stop a whole cascade of addditional enzymes and proteins that are absolutely necessary for healthy bodies. it took three years of statins (2 on zocor then 1 one on lipitor) at 40mg per day to finally cause the above reactions to the destruction the stains were doing to my body.

at the beginning i didn't experience any side effects at all on 10 mg. it did lower my cholesterol. in my 2nd year i started having very bad leg cramps in the night and spinning head when laying down. in the 8th year my sugar started to go up which i am tested for every 6 months. in my 11th year i have now developed tinnitus (ringing in the ears) as well as still all the above side effects. when i did research i read that all of the side effects i am experiencing have most likely been cause from taking lipitor for a long time. i have now decided to stop taking lipitor before something else happens to me. too bad all of this showed up after so many years.

strange poisen-ivy like rash on chest and breast
rash
severe muscle pain in left arm and neck and elbow,and prickling,numbness in hand. strange poisen-ivy like rash on chest and breast that would not go away until i stopped taking lipitor. i put up with this for 2 years until i realized the medication could have caused it and stopped - things cleared up immediately. would prefer to try niacin - will never take lipitor again.

for as long as i could remember i've always had perfect cholesterol (from a percentage perspective anyway). it's always been right around 120/120. for what ever reason my ldl shot up to 175 so a (not my normal one) dr just prescribed me lipitor. i didn't notice any problems for just over 2 months then all of a sudden one day i stared feeling horrible like a severe flu just hit me. for the next few days i couldn't get enough sleep i was incredibly week and had pains throughout my upper body. i saw my regular dr and decided to stop taking the drug, she also drew blood. luckily most of the tests came back normal but there was a small spike in something with my liver which was normal before. my cholesterol was ldl 95 hdl 109 (which i thought it is advertised to raise?) and my triglycerides were great as well. i can't say that the drug doesn't work but compared to how i feel it's not with it and i'll never take it again. i've been off it for 3 days now and only feel slightly bett.

i have been complaining to a variety of doctors about severe muscle cramping that has been affecting me for the past three years, which started upon waking one morning with what felt like a shark biting into my right calf. i'd been taking zocor for years and had recently been switched to lipitor. not one of the doctors once mentioned the statin as a possible cause of this problem. i wake up each morning feeling paralyzed all over my body. as if i have rigor mortis and am being resurrected from death (no exaggeration). thanks for this website and to all you people who have shared your experiences of lipitor. i finally have my answer!!! . this drug has been destroying every aspect of my life. physical and psychological. it's destroyed my self-confidence, my sex life, my business. and now it looks and feels like the medical establishment is keeping it all a dirty little secret for the sake of the income that statins generate. i'd rather have died outright from a heart attack than suffer as i have the past three years. and, reading this website, i can find a little comfort in knowing that i am not alone with this maddening array of weird symptoms. thank you! thank you!!! you may have saved my life !!!.

muscle pain, depression, dizziness (fainting spells), hair loss, panic attacks. my doctor kept changing the dosage, tried mevacor and gemfibrozil, as well. this went on much too long, mostly due to my inability to make decisions due to statin's brain-draining effects. after nearly committing suicide due to statin-induced depression, i stopped all statin meds. my depression lifted quickly, panic attacks stopped, my hair started growing back. web searches turned up information indicating that women probably shouldn't be taking statins, especially older women. i'm lucky to be alive and will do everything i can to spread the word about this killer drug.

i was prescribed arthrotec 75 to take twice a day with or before food. i took the very first tablet as directed,two hours later i was doubled up in pain with stomach cramps, i had very bad diarrhoa,and heavy menstral bleeding with clots even though i had just finished my cycle a week before. to add to this i couldnt pass urine,when i eventualy did it was full of blood. i also felt very weak and could not stop shaking. i spoke with my doctor just hours after taking this medication,i described all my symptoms,the bleeding was dismissed as being a coincedence and nothing to do with the medication!! i can say that is total rubbish. i would avoid this medication at all costs.
