Ok, all that I've read has me really freaked out - I was put on 10mg. of Lipitor about a week ago. I was going to see if anyone had/has experienced headaches with Lipitor. I notice that each evening I start getting an awful headache.
My cholosterol has been the same for a year - good cholosterol is really good; bad cholosterol is slightly elevated. The doctor said because of my "age" and since it hadn't gone down, I should go on Lipitor for 90 days and see how it goes - and, to watch my diet. My age is 69. I really, really don't want to take this stuff after reading all the bad reviews. Has anyone else had the headaches?

Update. The count down is on. Next week on Tues my 6yr old son will be having his tonsils removed. Only 5 months after the adenoids were removed. I am hoping once this is over the improvements I have seen will just get better! His sinus drained in April, 9 days after coming off Singulair after battling sinus infections for entire year or more actually. When his sinus drained the infection went right into the tonsils and he has had tonsillitis ever since. One thing I wanted to share is that around the same time he came off singulair we started omega 3 supplement. Both my son and I stopped Singulair the same day. We both started the Omega 3. Last week I had to stop his dose because of the upcoming surgery because it can thin the blood. I noticed this last week his nasal allergies kicked in. He did pretty good through this allergy season and wasn't on any meds a lot of the days. I hardly had to take allergy meds this time around also. Im allergic to trees/grass and this is usually my bad time. I really feel the omega 3 has helped a lot!!! I am also waiting to get the results of his blood tests to see if his cholesterol has gone down. Just wanted to share!
