9/20/05. i've been taking cholesterol lowering meds for at least 10 years including mevacor, zocor, lipitor and zetia. my cholesterol went from 398 to 260 on 40 lipitor. this year i was given 80 mgs of lipitor and zetia was added as well. along with the increased dosage, came crippling pain in my back, neck and then just my left foot, severe pain in my neck to the point where i couldn't hold it up without an effort, increased sinus pain, high blood pressure, insomina, blurred thinking. so to fix all these problems, i was given lots of other meds and tons of physical therapy and exercise each day. all so i could have great numbers. finally, i realized enough was enough, i called the nurse practitioner to say i was stopping lipitor and she was not really happy to put it mildly. i know my cholesterol will always be high, but after 2 weeks off lipitor, i feel better each day and know it's not my age causing the pain, high blood pressure, memory loss, dizzines. | insomina | insomnia |

hair loss (diffuse alopecia), hair thinning. i have had type 1 diabetes for 21 years. my blood sugar control has always been good (hemoglobin a1c tests always below 6%). i have a healthy diet and a normal weight. my thyroid function is normal. i have been taking, olmetec(olmesartan), istin(amlodipine) and lipitor(atorvastatin). since taking lipitor my hair has started falling out at an alarming rate. the thinning is most pronounced at the back and sides of my head so it's not conventional male pattern baldness. lipitor has certainly lowered by cholesterol but i've stopped taking it after 9 months. the stress caused by losing my hair in this way will probably do me more harm than having high cholesterol. | losing my hair | alopecia |

no side effect for first 4 weeks, cholesterol down to 150 from 210, then unusual pain and weakness began in both legs, worse on left. worse with exercise. legs felt cramped and sore and weak, especially in calves and lower rear thigh muscles. i had been a regular and energetic walker, but i couldn't keep it up. my blood work showed mildly higher levels of whatever is watched for with this drug. the doctor left it up to me whether to continue, and i stopped taking it about 3 weeks ago. my leg pain seemed to improve after about a week but did not go away, and has now worsened again. i this drug should be used with far more caution!. | in both legs pain | pain in extremity |
took for 5 years and thought foot pain was from bunion and hammer toe until i started to review side effects. severe neuropathy, sensation of cold toes when they were indeed warm and at times i had severe burning of the feet, leg cramps,. it may have done an excellent job of reducing cholesterol, but it is important to have quality of life and i did not have that anymore. i would never take lipitor (or any statin) again!!!!!. | severe neuropathy | neuropathy peripheral |

pain in shoulder and arms and hands. hands are often numb and very weak especially in am. i thought it was carpal tunnel syndrome. having difficulty opening jars. i ran marathons in 01, 02 and 03. and i have been a regular at the gym until about a year ago when i started lipitor. recently, i noticed that i could not do a single push up without severe pain. playing basketball has become impossible. even a simple pass causes significant pain. the pain in my arms interrupts my sleep. i thought that i was just aging and/or out of shape, but it might be the lipitor. i am going off the medication and trying coq supplements and vitamin c to see if this helps. | pain in my arms | pain in extremity |

rough anxiety and paranoia. to be fair, i must note that i was also taking norvasc - a blood pressure pill and when the above symptoms persisted i stopped norvasc at once (replaced with diovan). however, at that time - over a month ago - i was only aware of norvasc's side effects and, indeed, when i stopped taking it most of the anxiety and paranoia symptoms disappeared - most, but not all. that is when i started looking for the other culprit. sure discovered it soon: lipitor. spoke to a psychiatrist and she confirmed that the entire family of norvasc (called amlodiphine) is known to have psychiatric side effects. a month ago my family physician confirmed that lipitor is guilty of similar symptoms and agreed to let me off it for three months, until i take my next blood test. meanwhile i'm now on health food as well as q10, omega iii, nosterol and vitamin e (200iu). i now hope that ldl is low enough to say to lipitor goodbye. time will tell. | anxiety | anxiety |

became more anxious about everything, and noticed words would not form in my head during conversations, was disturbing and couldn't figure out why these things were happening. made me think i needed antidepressants or something to deal with constant anxiety/fear (which i have taken before and are horrible to get off of) have noticed slightly more tingling and weird pains, so i think this is a perfect time to stop taking this. i agree with another post. what are they doing to us, in the interest of healing us? i did take the actual lipitor for several yrs, and it did lower cholesteral, but started experiencing the muscle tingley thing and stopped , then started with the atorvastatin, where i noticed the above side affects. be very aware of any physical/emotional changes. | tingling | paraesthesia |
