Lengthy reply symptoms and conditions

I've been on lipitor and other generic forms of it for the last 8 years since the age of 26. I started on 10mg then 20mg and later 40mg. About 4 years ago I started with severe stomach cramps. The pain is so bad that I have to go home in the middle of the day, I can't walk or sit straight the pain is that bad and NOTHING helps. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would probably put this at a 7 or 8. I would also be nauseous and be really tired. I have had countless opinions and tests done and doctors keep telling me it is an "enigma" and there's nothing wrong with me. We've treated it through coeliac diet, exercise, lots of water, but it never helped. About a week ago I stopped drinking my meds by pure chance. I have not had one incidence of stomach ache. My doctor tells me that it's not possible for the lipitor to be the cause. I am sure he's wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Back from the RE:

We discussed many forms of birth control (none of which appeal to me) and he agreed bcps are not for me do to my reactions to them. He did question my correlating the YAsmin to my anxiety and said if that were the case I should've been like that from the first month on them. I quickly informed him of many of you here and asked that he not jump to conclusions just because the FDA; the warnings in the Yasmin pill pack and his Medical Journals all say that it DOESN'T cause us to be this way. He quickly let that go!

I was FINE before Yasmin. I was energetic, happy, and went with the flow of my hectic life with kids and an at home business. Then BAM I turn into a whole other person with serious issues mentally and emotionally and NOTHING in my personal life changed to cause this. How can anyone not conclude it a pill full of hormones?!!!!

He reluctantly prescribed me Xanax to get me through the next couple of weeks but said he would NOT prescribe me a refill. Which I said was fine because I really dont want to take anything but I can't just keep trying to make it through the day with my kids and me feeling so horrific.

Each day I feel a TAD better; what I wouldn't give for that magic wand to make it all better in a poof. I signed up for a 'Mind, Body & Spirit" (some sort of Yoga) class on Saturday and Wednesday so I am hoping that helps as well.

Enough of my lengthy reply! Hope everyone here continues to improve; all be it slowly. Everyday that passes is a another day we can all be 'us' again.
