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. | tiredness | fatigue |

i have been taking this medication for more than 4 years for cholesterol. it has reduced the numbers, but i now have totally changed my way of life with general weakness, constant leg pain, and specifically terrible pain in my feet and ankles. the bottoms of my feet hurt to the point of where i can no longer walk comfortably, and have experienced loss of balance several times a day. it is making me feel like 75 instead of 50 and i researched the web and came to this site. i have been telling my md about symptoms for months. blood tests keep coming back normal. doc says must be circulation. i feel like i'm wearing someone else's feet sometimes! tingling toes to numb toes and sore ankles and legs. i finally get his attention and he tells me he's changing prescriptions to mevacore (hello. it's the same thing). after research i am quitting the medication and will give it a month to see what happens. anyone put me onto some good information about withdrawals? been reading some things i really don't like. | loss of balance | balance disorder |

my prostate oncologist prescribed 10 mg per day for high ldl. the first day i did my normal excercise routine, ran two miles, lifted weights, etc that night i had neck pain, and thought it was nothing. took the second tablet the next day. upon arising on the second day, i noticed that i was very tired. pain or cramping in both quads (above knee, back of leg). i was not motivated to do anything. spent most of the day in bed, reading a book, something i rarely do. by the afternoon i could barely function. felt generally terrible, flu like symptoms, lower back ache, irritable, no motivation, and pain in knuckles, neck, and both upper legs. i had a worse headache than usual (i have migraine), but who knows? went to the internet and found this site. saw lipitor commercial on tv warning about muscle pain. i did not take the tablet today, and i am feeling better. i attribute the condition to the lipitor, although there is no proof. i am a prostate cancer patient and take a number of other drugs, which raise the ldl. apparently, some (a few) patients cannot tolerate this drug. i note that there are some on this list who have permanent damage, so it is serious for some of us. my legs are still sore, and feel worse than they did after a day of agressive downhill skiing a week ago. apparently this works for most, but some people have a severe and not so obvious reaction. stop immediately if there is any muscle pain. | neck pain | neck pain |

severe chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, problems with memory, concentration. severe depression. cholesterol went down drastically, doctors were thrilled, but i spent a year feeling exhausted and weak, unable to find words or remember names or follow the plot of a movie. all i thought about was where and when i could lie down. i was hardly able to lift things i could easily lift before. legs would go wobbly after one flight of stairs. everything was exhausting. doing the shopping or vacuuming was like climbing everest. symptoms stopped within a week of stopping lipitor. i can't believe i spent a year of my life like that. i will not recommend against lipitor because some people do fine on it but i wish my drs. had been more open to the idea that it was causing me problems. the only side effect they asked about was muscle pain, which i didn't have, and i was basically told lipitor doesn't cause anything else. | exhausted | fatigue |

back, hip thigh, knee pain, which is affecting my gait. memory loss. i almost forgot(did i say memory loss?). fatigue. as the dose increases the pain has worsened. i have been on lipitor for probably 10 yrs. have tried nearly all statins with similar side effects. 10 mg no real side effects, no real benefits either; 40 mgs- fatigue, muscle aches but able to tolerate it though not happy and still no appreciable change in cholesterol. now on 80 mg and feeling extremely uncomfortable. why am i on 80 mg? because the insurance company required a trial at this high level, before i can switch to an alternative and reduce the dose back to 40 mg. since when did the insurance company go to med school so they can dictate what i should be on. sorry for the rant. | knee pain | arthralgia |

started 2 years ago with 10 mg then 6 mos later doc upped to 20. about 3 mos ago i had several severe left leg cramps-never had them before. then about 2-3 weeks later, woke up and could barely stand and walk. legs and toes were numb (worse in left), weak, back pain and calves hurt terribly. walking was possible but only with intense effort and pain. couldn't stand for more than 1 or 2 minutes-too painful and weak. waited a couple 3 weeks to see if it would clear up-did not. went to doc. took x-rays said everything fine, blood test fine. interested in doing mri-thinking nacrotic nerve in lower spine. on an aside he said stop taking lipitor on an off chanch it may be an uncommon reaction. i started looking up lipitor reactions and came across so much info on side effects it was startling. i look back to about 1 1/2 years ago when i no longer had that special feeling that all males experience in my organ and a decreased sex drive (not typical for me). at the time i attributed it to male menopause-being around 54. i went to my accupuncturist and was told my chee was dry. had 4 treatments over as many weeks. started to see some improvement. at the onset of symptoms i felt like i would imagine someone that had ms would feel like, swaying, pulling myself up stairs, dragging legs. after having stopped lipitor and acupuncture treatments, i would say i am at about 50 or 55%. i hope i continue to keep getting better as this has really hit my life at a bad time. my cholesterol did go down but if i knew i would have these kinds of problems i would never have started taking the drug nor will i ever again take it irregardless of my cholesterol level. i would recommend to those who have not had any lessening of symptons to try accupuncture. it can't hurt and may help!. | back pain | back pain |

back pain, lipitor seems to be involved. in november of 2005 i was prescribed lipitor for elevated cholesterol. not really high, but high enough, dosage was only 20 mg per day. within two months, i had developed wicked back pain, along with neuropathy and hypersensitivity that wrapped around my abdomen. we suspected the lipitor was involved, so i went off it, since my numbers had gotten really low. i was effectively laid up for about six months. since there was no immediate improvement, we surmised that lipitor wasn't causing this. it's october 2006 now, and i'm starting to feel more like myself, still hurts but i can work around it. the cholesterol has crept up, so two weeks ago we started the lipitor again, and within a few days i was paractically flat on my back again! so, i've stopped again. it's a bloody shame this is happening, as the drug was extremely effective in dropping that cholesterol. too bad, we're going to have to try something else, i guess. | neuropathy | neuropathy peripheral |
