have suffered from leg cramps(principally at night) since beginning 40 mg lipitor, 5 years ago, after a mild heart attack. cardiologist offered no suggestions. after trying numerous recommendation for this problem such as potassium, magnesium, vitamin e, etc with no effect, my family doctor suggested that i stop taking lipitor for 3 days, and see if it has any effect. the effect was dramatic. the cramps did not occur during the night after i did not take the 40 mg with my dinner. they also did not occur on the following two nights. i did not want to restart the lipitor (once a day with the evening meal) for fear that the cramps would just as quickly return. since it was possible that the reason why the night cramps ceased so quickly is that i was taking the 40 mg entirely in the evening, i decided to split the pills and take half in the morning and half in the evening. although some mild cramping did return, it was nowhere close to what i had been experiencing, and this has c.

i have had several boughts of severe muscle cramps that lead to dehydration. i have had these while on lipitor and zocor. there is no way i can be dehydrated because i am now aware of the problem and drink water and gatorade consantly when i am outside. this site has been amazing to me. i am 37 and have been on statins for 13 years. other than the cramps i also have fatigue, muscle twitching, foot pain (10 x-rays), and numbness and tingling in the hands and arms. . i went to the doctor last week about the cramps, and he took me off zocor and i am going to wait and see how things are doing. the drugs do lower cholesterol.

dehydration

dehydration

at first i had muscle pain, but that faded out. next effect was short term memory: i would gas up, then try to pay without hanging up the pump. when i not only paid someone's bill but also drove off without hanging up the pump, i stopped taking the drug. while it did lower my cholesterol numbers (as did simvastatin afterwards), i'm not sure it was worth it. especially when i forget something important to my job and which i should have overlearned from years of gassing up cars. memory is one of the things that cholesterol is used for making, and to me anything that cuts it off is best avoided.

muscle pain

myalgia

achilles peritendonitis and sore ankles, knees and fingers. stiffness was aggravated by rest and better with activity. after sitting for 15 minutes, particularly with feet elevated, and then getting up to walk, my gait was like someone who could barely walk. have stopped taking lipitor and symptoms seem to be subsiding. lipitor worked great lowering cholesterol but the side effects are not worth the benefit.

terrible pain in hips and shoulders. after taking lipitor for a year, i started having pain in my hip. told dr about it, he didn't seem to concerned. after about 1 1/2 years i started having pain in my shoulders. the pain is so bad at this point that it wakes me up at night and extremely limits the use of my arms. dr sent me for x-rays, mri, to see an orthopedic surgeon. all results negative. they suggested it could be tendonitis or avascular necrosis and recommended anti-inflammatories. nobody ever suggested it could be the drug until i found this site doing research on my pain. it makes me wonder how powerful these drug companies are that doctors won't even suggest that the drug could be the problem. i'm stopping this drug today in the hopes that the pain goes away. hopefully i'll be able to play catch with my boys and swing a golf club again some day. if i die of a heart attack from high cholesteral in 20 years, so be it. i'd rather have a shorter life that i enjoy than a long life of pain.

agitation

constant aching/pain and weakness in arms, wrists, back of hands and shoulders. pain in lower legs and lower back not quite as severe but still present. gas and frequent diarrhea. difficulty getting to sleep due to aching muscles. 'severe aggitation' and quick to snap. for a while i was almost looking for someone to push a little too far so i could punch them. i usually avoid confrontations. the aggitation is one of my biggest concerns. also growing more and more tired. i cut the dose from 10mg to 5mg and reduced above side effects by about 40%. surprised when i found others had similar symptoms. took 10mg of lipitor for 6 weeks and dropped my cholesterol from 310 down to 225. mentioned how i felt and was directed to cut the dose in half. have taken 5 mg for about 4 weeks and cholesterol is now around 210.

myopathy

i had no side effects the first two days. the doctor prescribed for me to take 2 per day and i'm very glad i didn't. i took one per day and this is the third day. my face has felt numb most of the day and i feel light headed. i've had to get up and walk this feeling off, which has not been fun on the knee. i wouldn't suggest voltaren because it did nothing for the inflammation in the knee and has me in a panic until i can get this stuff out of my system.

hypoaesthesia

my mother started taking 40 mg. of lipitor 3 months ago. during the first month she complained about her head hurting. she began getting very confused. she was always exhausted, falling asleep all the time. complained about her legs always feeling like lead. within the last six weeks, her physical health has deteriorated to the point of her being confined to a wheelchair, in constant pain with her shoulders, knees, and a feeling like her whole body hurts. she shakes as if she has parkinsons. if i had not seen the news recently about the two men suing pfizer over what lipitor had done to their lives, i wouldn't have even thought about that being the cause. finding this website confirmed it. i have taken her off the lipitor, and am hoping that alot of her pain and fatigue and muscle problems will start to get better, although it scares me that alot of people are saying they haven't improved. i wish i had know about this a week after she started with the symptoms. i would never recommend this drug to anyone! it has ruined whatever years my mother had left to enjoy life - she was very active for her age - now she's in a wheelchair.
