I am searching for Lipitor side effect and came across this website. Now I am convinced that what I am feeling are resulting from Lipitor.
I am taking (20mg/day) Lipitor for only a few weeks and I have unexplained patch of rash at the base of my neck, extreme headache, neck pain (it feels as if the back muscles in my neck could not support my head), muscle spasm, cold feet and joint pain. I am 42, otherwise healthy male (except for high cholesterol, 300). I began experiencing these symptoms and decided to search to see if I can find the causes. I could not find any resonable/plausible causes. I came acrross this site. Now, I think I will stop taking Lipitor and take my chances with the high cholesterol. I rather live a short life without a lot of pain and complications than to suffer a long life of pain and bitterness.
Good luck everyone!

body can't tolerate BIAXIN. due to time release of pill, bitterness remains in mouth 24hrs. bitterness keeps me awake at night. nightmares, leg cramps. tongue slightly swollen. taste is overwhelmed by the bitterness i can't get rid of. constant nausea. am drinking water literally every minute to keep sickening taste in mouth from making sick to stomach. have shakes. side effects are too distracting to take further after 2 days. this should be taken off the market.

I have a keloid scar on the back of my left chest wall. It is tender and painful to touch and itchat time.
I start receiving kenalog injection in March, April and June 2005. About 2 mins post injection, I began to nauseating with a bitterness feeling at the throat. With my eyes closed, I see blackness with flashes and spots of lights. My whole body was feeling very uneasy, can't differentiate whether am I being suck in or am I being lifted and had the feeling in incontinence. At the initate time, I still feel conscious responding to my friend command, than I guessed I'm might had lapsed into unsconiusness. 5 minutes later I woke up feeling nausea and dizzy. Feeling much better after 10 minutes or resting, I return to work.
Thinking that I might be sensitive to the pain that cause me to faint, I decided to go for the subsequently injection in April and June to desensitise the pain. But it happened again both times after the procedure except that I'm conscious of the surrounding but I keep my eyes closed. But in yesterday episode, I expercience additional side effect after about 30 minutes later such as acute pain at the injection site and surrounding area that almost cause me to faint again and associated with sharp abdominal pain that I need to relief myself. Last night I slept at 7 p.m., this moring I work up with a slight heachace which clear off after a short duration. Now I'm perfectly alright with occasional shooting of sharp pain form the keloid.
The doctor is aware of my fainting spell but still advise me to return for regular injection as the keloid scar is hardening.
I'm wondering should I continue to go for the keloid treatment???? It quite torturing during the syncope attack. Any one care to advise????

Hey everyone-
so this is my story and I would appreciate any comments. I am 21 and have been on Yasmin for a little over one year. I am SO happy I found this site!!!! First off, I had some anxiety issues before I took this pill and I dont think that it has had any affect on them. I do not have panic attacks anymore but I am in general an anxious person which never used to be. I am so angry and hard to please now and I was never like this! I snap at my boyfriend for everything and he has even told me I am a negative person and I have changed. I thought it was due to stress but I can just feel myself changing its awful.
Second, I notice I shed....ALOT. Hair sheds about 50-100 hairs a day but I just see my hair clumping in corners and all over my clothes. I cant tell if this is me being anxious but I grab my hair and I feel like it used to be thicker. I looked at pictures before the pill and it looked so beautiful and shiny now it is dull and flat.
I guess my majors issues are the hair and the awful mood swings and bitterness.
Question: Will this get better if I change pills?
