I have found that N-ACETYL-L-CYSTEINE is helpful in combating some of the side effects of this horrible medication. Apparently, NAC has benefits in combatting lung issues by thinning mucus, and, it also helps detoxify against some poisons. For me it had an immediately noticable benefit. Also make sure you're getting enough calcium and iron, and getting plenty of Vit-C and Vit-E.
Best of luck to all.

Cure for side effects? CoQ 10 helped me it could help you to. I don't think the private mail on this site works. You can contact me: seekers999@hotmaildotcom if you're a real person you know what to do with the"dot"... "." But nobody needs me, do the research yourself! checkout coq-10 and how lipitor and other statin drugs deplete your body of it causing muscle atrophy. (see my previous post for link)
I don't recommend websites or charge (even though I'm on social security disability w/kids and financially challanged ;-) I;m just trying to help people get better by pointing them in the right direction.
I was crippled up on crutches! Worst pain in my life! Couldn't even get to the bathroom 15' away WITH THE CRUTCHES!! If felt like muscle was tearing with each step, within a week the pain was gone!! The mental fog was gone also and I quit taking the Prozac, but this might have been also due to the Acetyl-L Carnititne.(500mg 3X a day)
I just know that stopping the lipitor didn't stop the pain and confusion!
God Bless all as they try and work their way through these terrible side effects! Remember I had to increase the coq 10 to 900mg a day before I saw benefits on the 3rd day.... There is hope! I hope it works for you!
