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.

wanted to sleep all of the time

somnolence

after only 2 1/2 weeks on lipitor i could feel that something was not right in my body. extreme headaches, severe neck pain, fatigue, sore muscles and joints, fevers, chills, sweating, dark urine, flu like symptoms, swelling of right knee, irritable, just wanted to sleep all of the time. called my doctor and told him about my symptoms. he said it sounded like i had a virus. he told me to go off lipitor for two weeks and then try it again. i have no intention of taking lipitor again. just now starting to feel somewhat normal again after being off it for one week. however, i have now developed a sore throat.

most of the side effects everyone else has: weak legs, muscle and back soreness, ears ringing, feel bad, all usually in the mornings. however, it lowered my cholesterol, tryglycerides, and blood pressure, along with a lot of exercising. i had by-pass surgery in 1986, angioplasty in the mid 90's, started on zocor, then my doctor switched me to lipitor and have not had to have either since i started on the statins. (started with 20mg. then 40mg., and now 80mg.) its not perfect, but it keeps me alive. i am now 65 and i thank god every single day for my doctor and my medicine. i just gut it up and make my self jog a mile and walk a mile 4-5 times a week, pain or no pain. i have lived to see my grandchildren and two great grandchildren. life is good. think positive!.

after 4 uneventful years on lipitor, i started having intense shoulder and upper arm pain. if i don't stop the lipitor, what will happen? is this life-threatening?. why aren't we told about the consequences of various side effects of lipitor, so we can evaluate whether to continue with the drug? why doesn't the product literature mention the possible effects of lipitor on cognitive function?.

visual impairment

after using lipitor for 2.5 years, i decided to stop two weeks ago because of severe pain in my left arm. i am left handed and recently couldn't normally do my job. twice i told my doctor about pain in my arm and he didn't take that seriously, ignoring my complaint. after two weeks of not taking lipitor my arm almost recovered and i can work without any pain or any problem. it started a long time ago with tingling in my arms, they were often fall asleep, usually when i wake up in the morning. from month to month pain was worst until i almost lost all strength and couldn't use my arm. anyway, i think i made a good decision by not using lipitor anymore (my doctor will be mad at me). i will try with natural supplements and more exercising. i am very "anxious" about medication that can cause myopathy, liver damage or cancer. .
