Hi,
I was on 10 mg of Lipitor and seemed ok which I was on for about 2 months. Then my doctor increased the dosage to 20 mg., shortly after that I had such a severe red and itchy rash on both of my eyelids. So itchy and painful, at times I felt like pulling my eyes out. I went to a skin doctor, an allergist, and eye doctor. I changed my make up, changed laundry detergent. None of this helped. Then I started thinking back on when this rash started and it was about the time my doctor increased the dosage of the lipitor. I finally just took myself off of it. I was in pain like this for 2 months, I thought I would go out of my mind with the itching. It took about 3 weeks after I stopped taking the Lipitor before the systems started to disappear. Just wanted to share this info with everyone. I hope this helps anyone that may be having similar problems.
