I'm 66 yrs old white female and I have been taking lipitor for 3 months now and I take 5 mg a day. While I take 5 mg a day lipitor, I had a problem with my memory, my Husband noticed it. I decided to call the
drug store to talk to the pharmacist to see if I could cut my dosage into a
half of pill and he said it would be ok. I was taking the half of lipitor for two wks and my memory started to inprove quite a bit. my memory was still not
completely back to normal. had problems grasping what I watched on a history channel, I couldn't recall what the topic was about. I did have a cholesterol test taken and my Doctor said my cholesterol went from 268 down to 180, my LDL drop from 185 down to 75. My doctor ask me how I was doin on my lipitor and I told him about cutting my pill into a quarter and also I was taking coQ10 , my Doctor was amazed about my test turning out really good. I found out that any Statin drug depletes the body of coQ10. my primaryDr told me to continue taking coQ10 with the quarter pill of lipitor.I'm doing great on a quarter pill. I would like everyone to know that if they ask their dr

I had the Mirena IUD inserted in September 2007... BIG MISTAKE! I paid $550.00 for the stupid IUD & another 225.00 for doctor fees!!
Okay here's my story.. I have three children, 26 yrs old, married, 120/122 pounds.. can stay in shape/get in shape easily, happy, VERY short 3-4 day periods.. BEFORE Mirena..
Now.. its been 7 weeks.. And even though I keep to the same diet, I have gained 8 pounds! I have been on a period & constantly spotting for 15 DAYS~ oh yeah.. AND bad, bad, bad, BLOATING!! Yesterday I had Severe Cramps- my doctor is out of town so the nurse actually called in muscle relaxers to help with the pain.. I was in TEARS yesterday. I NEVER EVER had menstrual cramps before.... to make things worse..I am so moody & I hate my quick temper. I have never had acne, but now I get a few spots.. not so bad, but I shouldn't have any. I feel like I don't have control over my body.
My appointment is for this Thursday.. I am getting this thing removed, so I can return to normal!
Before getting this awful thing ( which hurts when inserted & bad cramps afterward) I was using NuvaRing for two months.. I did not have any of these bad side effects with NuvaRing... I am going to try that again.
IN SHORT.. I PAID over $800.00 for severe cramping, 15 day long periods, constant spotting, brown discharge, EXTREME BLOATING, huge weight gain, and acne!! WHAT?!? I want a refund!!
