I think all of you folks with side affects are are blaming your ills on Lipitor rather than putting the blame where it belongs: on your own mental health. I am a 65 YO male and I have been on Lipitor for more than six years now. I have no side affects, I work out four days per week with cardio and weights and feel that Lipitor should be added to the public water supply. My total cholesterol has gone from the high two hundreds to under one-forty on a single daily dose of 10mg. All of you hypochondriacs get a grip.

UPDATE: It has been 1 year ago that I stopped taking the poison referred to as Lipitor! The good news is I am feeling better. I have lost 25 lbs in the past year by following a low carb - high protein diet. I am practicing some yoga and trying to walk as much as possible. I have more good days than bad but the bad can still be debilitating. My neck pain is managed by a once a month visit to the Chiropractor who uses the pro-adjuster for treatment. Also I have upper body massage 1-2 per month. I simply refuse to let this get me down! Attitude is helpful! When I am having a bad day, the leg tremors return. I must say in the past 6 months, I have only had this happen 3 times. And for that I am grateful. I am trying to analyze the triggers for the leg tremors. So far I believe they are related to stress and exhaustion. When I push myself and do too much. Still not taking any drugs and my cholesterol is 220. I have accepted this and will live a quality life for as long as God allows! For everyone who is having lingering side effects from this horrible drug, hang in there! I have seen improvement but I don't think my muscle structure will ever be as it was so I am trying to accept the bad days and move ahead and really enjoy the good days!!!! God bless you all! Kookoo
