stomach cramps
learning disorder
i've been taking liptor for about a year with no major side effects, but recently i have been experiencing a sore, tingly tongue(glossitis) and have ruled out everything from toothpaste to spicy foods. i have also had dizzy spells, headaches, and trouble sleeping. doctor told me to discontinue lipitor which i just did a couple days ago and i should know in a month or so if this is the cause (glossitis and other symptoms are listed as possible side effects, although in my case it's been a delayed reaction) lipitor did bring my cholesterol down from 268 to 153 but i want the glossitis,headaches and dizziness to go away. i hate feeling this way. i will find another way to control my cholesterol if lipitor proves to be the culprit.

my dad has been on lipitor for over a year, they increased his dose by doubling it. within a month he started to experience lower leg weakness, cramping of the calf muscles after walking only a block and while resting. he read an article about baycor, lipitor, etc we asked his m.d. about this & he told us that the side effects of lipitor were an inflammatory muscle weakness & degeneration. with my coaxing & the dr's okay my day stopped lipitor for one month. his legs did not get better or worse. the dr's have him so worried about his cholesterol that he started taking it again. he is now so debilitated, he was using a walker, & his wheelchair is being delivered today. we have been to a neurologist, vascular surgeon, and blood dr he can no longer drive. he has reduced feeling below the knees, he has fallen 4 times. he is losing the feeling in his right hand and the inability to perform fine motor skills. with all the tests he has had to rule out other causes, it seems that lipitor is the culprit. until the dose was doubled my dad was active, able to walk, drive, and enjoy life. if lipitor is the cause of all these problems, high cholesterol does not look so bad. i would never take or recommend this drug to anyone. it has destroyed my father's life.

developed severn calf cramps after a couple of weeks on lipitor where i could bearly walk and after talking to a friend he told me he was prescribed lipitor and had developed leg cramps and his doctor switched drugs. before taking lipitor i never have leg cramps. i then called my doctor and told him about my leg cramps and told me to stop taking the lipitor and he was going to prescribe another drug. after one week off the drug i still have severn leg cramps and went in for another doctors visit and he said he didn't thiink it was a lipitor side effect because the cramps were localized and felt maybe the cramps were caused by a muscle enemze. he drew blood and is running tests. about the same time i got the leg cramps my right knee swelled up so i saw another doctor and i don't know if the knee and leg cramps are related side effects. anyway i asked the second doctor about liptior side effects re. leg cramps and he felt that the side effect could be localized and that the cramps could. after learning about the side effects of liptior and talking to several people who have been prescribed lipitor all had some kind of side effects.

none, unless too much is taken too close together, then it can cause gassy abdominal cramping. it is the best pain reliever i have ever been prescribed and i will never do without it! i happen to have endometriosis that has attached to "everything" in the backside, including my sciatic nerve. sciatic endo is rarely seen, but they found it in me. i do restorative yoga postures to get myself loosened up every day, but keep the cataflam handy as nothing works better for the pain, unless i have an extremely bad time where i have to take a demerol with it (rarely). however, i have noticed in the "patient info" they give with my rx that now warnings of nsaid's causing heart attacks and strokes are written where they were not before when i started this rx. the best dose for me (per my doctor) is 2 pills to get in your system, then 1 every 8 hours afterward. luckily, i only need this a few days a week at the most, here & there. i highly recommend this especially for lower lumbar arthritis and to women for dysmennorhea. it will do the trick!.

was doing fine on it for years. i unfortunately was diagnosed with colin cancer and had to start chemotherapy. the combo of chemo and lipitor caused my liver enzymes to rise, muscle and joint stiffness as well as sore ribs. i have been off lipitor for two days and find the muscle stiffness starting to subside.

i am experiencing severe hip joint pain, thigh pain, severe thigh fatigue upon minimal exertion which is drastically impairing the ability to walk anything beyond a relatively short distance. the question is. is lipitor causing this? i am taking 20 mg a day and have been taking this for 6 years. this has been a huge problem for the last 2.5 years. i read this website and feel that lipitor is causing my pain. i have been to numberous orthopods, rheumetoligists, neouroligist, and others who cannot find any problems. so, when i read about all these people who seem to have figured this out . i have hope. but are they correct in thier assumptions? we are all desperate to find an answer (the cause) and ultimately a cure. but is lipitor the answer? that is the question (dp 2/02/06.
