For past 3 weeks been having shoulder and neck pain, can't sleep at night and more hurtful. Taking Aleve for pain.
On Lipitor 10 mg a day. Started taking it 5 months ago.
Also can't lose weight, now I think it the lipitor that keeping me from losing on my diet program. I lose 2 lbs and gain it back next day, which seem like fluid retainment. I taking and blood pressure fluid reducer pill. I am going off lipitor as of today and see what happen. Cannot live this way, with the constant daily pain and if it is the lipitor I will soon know giving it time to be off it. On last check up, my ldl was under 100 so why in world am I on it. I might be changing doctors.
What I like to know is where do you find a doctor that not a pill pusher for the rx companies now a day. Grandma live to be 89 and on insuline twice a day, no meter testing. I am on insulin, meter testing, and now lipitor. Tired of being a testing human animal for rx companies, that take the drug off the market after a few years of damage. Age 66 years old, female.

My 81 year old grandmother is taking 20 mg of Zocor per day, AS WELL AS 600mg of Lopid per day. I just read that Zocor and Lopid should NOT be taken together, but the quack of a doctor she's seeing is a real pill pusher, and he hasn't made any attempt and getting her off of this. She began losing muscles last fall after taking the medications for a while, but now she is nearly helpless, and falls and loses her balance a lot. Which medication should be stopped, the Zocor or the Lopid? Both of these medications can cause muscle deterioration. Since she will not be going back to the quack, I was just wondering which one we should take her off of, or possibly both. Thanks for any information.

This is so scary!! I was just looking up "my son says he hates himself" on google, because I was concerned, as I deal with depression and wanted to find out if a little boy saying this (6 yo) is normal or if it may be signs of depression. Weirdly this link for singular came up.

But today he has just been whining and crying (he is still crying and screaming for me loudly now!) and I began to get VERY concerned that my son was exhibiting signs of depression. If this is true, we may need to file a lawsuit against the drug companies as there are too many similarities and coincidences with this singulair. It wasn't even a THOUGHT or consideration that the medicine could have been causing this. I just thought that he was growing up and just goind through stages. Now I feel stuck because I don't know whether I should take him off and risk his asthma flaring up, or keep him on and risk his depression gene flaring up. This is VERY scary....
