I am 45 and started taking Lipitor in December 2004. Iy lowered dramtically the cholesterol count from 225 to 130. After my first 3 month supply ended (with no side effects), I got another order but since I am an avid golfer, came up with horrible tendonitis near my left elbow (i.e. tennis elbow) while diligently practicing for a tournament in June 2005. The pain was so bad, I could not wash my hair after the golf round. I have never had an ache like this in my entire life. It then went into my right elbow. I halved my dose from 20 mg to 10 mg by taking every other day. After reading the posts here, I will now go cold turkey and see if the pain goes away. I have another golf tournament in 2 weeks which I will start practicing for again. It will be very interesting to see if this flares up again. I still have mild pain in both elbows right now. How can we get this information to the FDA? It is too important.

WOW, Im glad i stumbled on this site, I have been taking lisinopril for 3 months now, I have been having anxiety attacks with stiffness in my neck and shoulders..I am an avid golfer , and have been unable to complete a round the last 3 games because of heat sensetivity, anxiety and rapid heart beat while trying to play.
I will be stopping this poison drug today..I told my DR all this he gives me xanax..I have also been very tired with mucle soreness...Does anyone know a good BP med with fewer side effects?
