Lowered cholesterol and triglycerides | F | 77 | 3 years | 10/27/2003 | 1 | Heart Condition - high cholesterol | After 2 months being on Lipitor I experienced extreme pain and loss of muscle in left leg. | Advice from Cardiologist was to immediately stop taking Liptitor. It was too late, resulting in the loss of being able to work and ended up disabitlity and would like to join a class action lawsuit against the drug company responsible. Would like to hear from others who have had problems with this drug. | M | 60 | 60 days | 9/27/2003 | 4 | high cholesterol | none | M | 46 | 27 months | 9/20/2003 | 3 | Chol(246)/Tri(198)/HDL(43)/LDL(163) | None as of yet. | Droped Total Chol to 181. Triglycerides jumped to 461! Doc says it is not related to the Lipitor (I find it hard to believe). Will see what Tricor and Lipitor do together. | M | 36 | 33 days | 9/10/2003 | 1 | HIGH COLESTEROL | blurring eyesight, hair loss, painful leg cramps, muscle weakness in my left arm, hard to walk any length of time, my legs and ankles ache so bad, have been unable to lose weight even when on strict diet, very, very tired all the time; pain in almost every muscle, digestive changes, bloating, gas, diarhea. | My doctor keeps insisting that it isn't the drug. But all of these symptoms have come on since taking Lopid and Lipitor. Especially the eyesight problems, even went and bought new glasses and hasn't helped!! The fatigue and muscle weakness are the worst. Am only in my 40's and feel like I'm in my 80's!! Am going to stop taking the drug and see if the symptoms improve.

Wife says I'm crabby when on it. Had similar problems with Zocor. Taking fish oil (salmon) and glucosamine sulfate has offset the achiness and moodiness.

My muscles and nerves have suffered from this. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver, leaky heart valves, goiter, neuropthy in both feet since that time. Before I stopped the Lipitor I ended up in the ER with a pulse of 156 and chest pains. I was a nail tech and needless to say that will never be again with the weakness in my arms. | I would not give this to my worse enemy. | F | 54 | 2 months | 7/14/2003 | 1 | Dr said I should | My heart beats went to 30 or a little less stomack heart lungs heart and hard to breath I hert from head to my toe . I thought I was going to die for 2 days and nights. After I got out of hospital I have trouble doing anything like I was doing. | I think lipitor and maybe even any statin drugs should be takenoff the market. I'll never take anything with statin in it agin. | M | 58 | 13 days | 6/25/2003 | 1 | coronary artery disease | Rash with blisters, severe muscle aches and joint pain, extremely tired feeling, no energy, after taking medicine for two weeks. | M | 61 | 14 days | 6/13/2003 | 2 | hi chol | insommnia | M | 61 | 6 years | 6/3/2003 | 5 | high cholesterol/high tryglicerides | none | worked well on cholesterol level and even better on tryglycerides | M | 41 | 2 years | 5/6/2003 | 2 | Lower Cholesterol | Will not continue taking Lipitor! | After taking for only 3 days I experienced general overal weakness..fatigue..nausea..diziness..trembling..trouble concentrating..sadness..moodiness..insomia..neck pain..dull headaches..feverish..clamy feeling..tingly feeling in hands and scalp....basically felt rotton all day long. Would wake up feeling good, but about an hour or so after taking Lipitor all the above symptoms returned. Others swear by this drug, but they can have it.
