shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle soreness, numbness in arms, constant headaches, impending doom, short-term memory loss, flu-like symptoms. thank you for this website. i have been looking for reasons why i feel this way and have started medical 101. tomorrow am scheduled for lung scan and chest x-ray and dr game me # for cardiac ct scan after that. i want to cancel all appointments and stop taking lovastatin. being taking 40mg for 4 months now and symptoms began immediately with shortness of breath. the muscle soreness and headaches will not go away and i feel like i got hit by a truck. will be going off it though it did lower my cholesterol. i am an otherwise healthy woman who exercises 3 times a week (walking and swimming laps)and am lacto-ovo vegetarian. again, thank you for this website. it took a fews weeks to find it through my searching. i definitely will bookmark it.

asthenia
leg cramps and pain. contracted peripheral neuropathy. have lost most of my feeling in feet, legs and hands. tingeling in fingers and feet is painful. difficult to walk and keep balance. difficult to sleep due to burning and pain. took 20 mg for about a year. doctor moved dosage to 40 mg. very slowly over four months i began having leg cramps, noticed i was having difficulty picking my feet up, itching (tingling) around toes of right foot. doctor suspected neuropathy when athlete's foot couldn't be detected. neurologist said stop taking lipitor immediately. the damage was done as it spread to my hands and up my legs. have been off lipitor eight months and still have problems. from what i read i fear this will be with me. this is dangerous as doctors are handing this out like candy and are not monitoring their patients closely. the dark side of statins far overshadow the benefits.

burning sensation
leg cramps and pain. contracted peripheral neuropathy. have lost most of my feeling in feet, legs and hands. tingeling in fingers and feet is painful. difficult to walk and keep balance. difficult to sleep due to burning and pain. took 20 mg for about a year. doctor moved dosage to 40 mg. very slowly over four months i began having leg cramps, noticed i was having difficulty picking my feet up, itching (tingling) around toes of right foot. doctor suspected neuropathy when athlete's foot couldn't be detected. neurologist said stop taking lipitor immediately. the damage was done as it spread to my hands and up my legs. have been off lipitor eight months and still have problems. from what i read i fear this will be with me. this is dangerous as doctors are handing this out like candy and are not monitoring their patients closely. the dark side of statins far overshadow the benefits.

i have experienced extreme stomach pain when taken on an empty stomach, and moderate stomach pain when taken with food. i also had some drowsiness after taking arthrotec. arthrotec works very well for my knee pain, more so than mobic or celebrex. however, i do experience stomach pain from time to time.

started out with fatigue/depression and was diagnosed with fibromalgia. then came the extreme knee pain followed by hip pain. on top of this perpetual pain, i started having the irritable colon acompanied by three years of diarrhea that was diagnosed as colitis. i recently was totally dibilitated by swelling and pain in my hands. my family convince me to stop takng the lipitor after my daughter found this site and after 4 days - no swelling and the pain has subsided!!! i am interested in trying some of the natural options stated in this site to see if i can control my cholesterol (270 at the highest. thanks to everyone who has enlighted me!!!. time for the government to look into this drug. don't you think it is interesting that the medical field has recommended that your cholesterol should now be 170 when just a few years ago 200 was good enough??!! sounds as though the phamacuticals companies need to sell more statins.

i have been taking lipitor for two years and have experience leg pain, soreness in muscles and tiredness. i am otherwise a healthy person. recently, the pain in my my left leg is so bad that i can't sleep on that side at night. my doctor suggested going off lipitor as of today to see if that is the culprit. i will post another message when i stay off of it for awhile. i really do believe that it is the lipitor though, as i had never had problems prior to being put on that particular medicine.
