i female, 5 feet 7 and a half inches tall, 117 lbs. i do not smoke and have never smoked. i do not have high blood pressure, nor have i ever had it. i am not diabetic. i am 45 and a half years old and was on 20 mg of lipitor due to genetically high ldl for a period of seven months. at that point, i started having terrible, migratory joint pain all over my body that was very distinct and pronounced. i also had disabling fatigue and flu-like malaise. some nights i would go to bed at 6 pm and not get up until 8 or 9 the next morning. i was quite ill. my doctor did tons of lab work to rule out things like rheumatoid arthriitis, lupus, lyme disease and active parvovirus infection. these all came back negative. finally, i was taken off lipitor to see if the drug had anything to do with my symptoms. within 72 hours i noted an improvement; within seven days, the symptoms were completely gone and i was restored to health. i will not ever take lipitor again as i believe it is liver-toxic and slowly poisons the patient. it did a great job of lowering my ldl (173 down to 60). my total cholesterol went from 238 down to 143. however, it nearly killed me in the process and i believe it is almost like a slow-acting poison. | terrible, migratory joint pain all over my body | myalgia |

congestion, cough, elbows burning, right heel pain, loss of concentration. i initially couldn't tell i was taking it. about two years ago i started waking up with significant congestion with clear phlem. chest xray was clear. my doctor suspected allergies. having 2 pets that seemed reasonable. about a year ago my elbows would burn like fire at times when i rested my arms on a surface. this would come and go. i also began having trouble focusing while reading and would skip around. two months ago my right heel became painful for no reason. the more i walked on it the worse it felt. i switched shoes with no change. it hurt enough that i began to worry i might end up on disability if it got much worse. i was recently out of state for two weeks and still had congestion in spite of being in a totally different environment. that was when i suspected the lipitor and did some research on line and saw matches with all of my symptoms. i immediately stopped it and the next morning the congestion was 80% less. i saw my doctor who agreed i need to stop it. he explained that there are a lot of side affects and there is no way to predict who will get which ones or when they will develop. the blood tests give a false sense of security since the results (like mine) can be normal yet other serious issues can develop. | elbows burning | burning sensation |

my chloresterol was 220 and my physician prescribed lipitor. i took the medication for 3 weeks before i stopped. my left side, especially my shoulder and arm, are so sore and it's been a year since i stopped taking it. i'm concerned i have some kind of permanent damage to my muscles. i have no strength in my left arm and have a painful time lifting my own arm above my head and holding a hair dryer is a major task. my left hip hurts and i can no longer sit crosslegged on the floor. i am very limber but i cannot sit that way anymore and cannot get up from sitting on floor without a struggle. i wondered, at first, if i had some kind of mild stroke but found this website and realized i was right, it was the lipitor. i lowered my chloresterol by eating a bowl of oatmeal at night, for me, just changing my diet was the trick. | damage to my muscles | myopathy |

anxiety, paranoia. i went to see my doctor and told him about my discovery. first he was a bit reluctant but in the following meeting he already told me that he had read about lipitor's psychiatric side effects. he therefore put me off lipitor completely and suggested a much lower dosage of 10mg crestor. in addition, he prescribed a new medication: niacin, beginning with 500mg the first month and then increasing to 1,000 in the second (with the ultimate aim of reaching 2,000 in the fourth monthly). bottom line: when i discontinued lipitor two months ago my ldl reached 165. this week my blood test indicated an ldl level of 124. so, after being helped by folks on this website i hope i can be of some help to others who suffer from statin side effects. therefore, here is what i've done during the past two months: - took 500mg of niacin during the first months and 1,000mg during the second; - took a total of 10 crestor pills (10mg which are equivalent to 20mg of lipitor) per month, i.e., one every three days. - two natural pills of phytosterol. - a cup of tea made of olive leafs. now, i do believe that when i reach the maximum intake of niacin in two months (2,000mg) the ldl will drop from 124 to 100 (the level required for diabetics). good luck, folks!. | anxiety | anxiety |

i called in a refill for lexapro and they refilled it with lipitor by mistake. i went through nearly that whole bottle of lipitor before realizing the mistake. the side effects of this drug was that my muscles ached so bad and my joints hurt and i felt like an 85 yr old instead of a 42 yr old. extreme exhaustion. it was bad enough that i unknowingly ramped up on lipitor and had to suffer those side effects but i was also as a result cold turkey on my anti-depressant so i had to endure its nasty cold turkey withdrawal symptoms. i know that for two weeks i could only work a half day before i had to go home and pass out. then i took another week for vacation. went to the doc after the first two weeks of the torment but everything checked good cause we didn't know about the lexapro/lipitor swap. i felt like a hypochondriac but i knew the bone deep aches were not my imagination. now, i check the markings on my pills. its been over a month back on lexapro and i still have joints that bark at me that i never had problems with before. | extreme exhaustion | fatigue |

didn't associate my problems with lipitor until reading this web site. i've been on lipitor for about 7 mos. have had problems with my hips and knees in the past but just within the last year i've been experiencing spasms in upper thighs, especially after doing anything physical. now i have a dr. apptmt. in a few days because my right knee is so painful i can't even bend it! it hurts to get up in the morning, get out of a chair, go up stairs. also, i have had operations on my right foot a few years ago, but now it hurts almost as much if not more. the bottom of my foot is extremely tender as are my calves. the lipitor did lower my cholesteral wonderfully; but i'm extremely concerned that this may be what my problems are coming from. hopefully, the dr. will tell me more this week. | hurts to get up in the morning | pain |
