I have been taking Lipitor for only about a month, but already I have had side effects from this drug. What led me to this site was a search for Lipitor side effects, while I was searching for what may have caused the development of a couple of blue/purple/yellowish "bruises" on one of my breasts. I have also been having leg cramps during the day. I never put these symptoms together or ever thought of them as being side effects from the Lipitor until reading all this and it has dawned on me that nothing like this has ever happened to me until the past month when I started taking Lipitor for high cholesterol. I am also diabetic. I know that my mother takes Lipitor and her skin bruises easily, which made me wonder if it was the Lipitor causing my breast to bruise, but it hasn't been hit or anything like that.. just showed up as two little bruises, except one of them is getting darker instead of fading away. I'm supposed to go back to the doctor the end of the month. My husband doesn't want me to take any more of the Lipitor. I think I will search for alternative methods in dealing with my high cholesterol!
