I have been taking 10 mg.lipitor for 3 years or more....I seem to...

I stopped Lipitor in feb. and still have side effects. I have spent countless hours to research cholesterol, liver,etc.

I have been taking PANTETHINE and it really lowers cholesterol. Also, LECITHIN is good for memory, cholesterol, etc. If I can help more, just e-mail me.

My story is all of yours +++++. I noticed the day after I stopped taking the Lipex the pain intensity went down a little. I have been off the medicine for 6 months now. I still take some strong pain killer everyday BUT I am a zillion trillion times a happier man than I was, memory, temper, agitation, ability to get words out etc etc have all vastly improved and in another 12 months I'm hoping it will be a distant memory. Research COQ10. Purchase the Tishcon hydrosoluable 100mgs, don't bother with any other makes. Forget all your other vitamins and do the COQ10 2 x a day for 10 days. Then re avulate your other vitamins. Quality COQ10 over a period of a month reduced my muscle pain by 25 - 35 % and boosted my energy levels about the same. MAKE sure you research for your self COQ10 & just as importantly research THE BIO AVAILABLITY. The other interesting thing I uncovered is if you go to the label written by the drug companies themselves you will probably see that all your conditions are clearly written under known adverse side effects - these are written by the drug company. So Mr & Mrs Doctor give up practise & open a gun shop at least then your negligence would have you jailed instantly.
Good luck & drop me a short line in a couple of months re improvement and COQ10. C U from New Zealand

I am a 46 year old female and have been on 10 mg of lipitor for about 6 months now. I can hardly get out of bed in the morning. My feet feel like they the muscles are so tight. I walk like a 90 year old woman every morning. My back is killing me. I get food caught in my throat ALL the time. I have the blurred vision and neck aches. I am going to stop this drug after reading all these posts. If I ride in a vehicle for an hour I can hardly move when I get out. The pain is through my whole body. I also have very dry eyes in the morning. My father was diagnosed with ALS more than 10 years ago. He can hardly walk now. Has absolutely no muscle left in his legs. I was thinking I inherited the ALS. Now I am wondering if my father is suffering from taking statins for most of his later years of life.
