I can't believe the nonsense going on here with those side effects. I believe some have become illiterate and professional medical people. I am sorry but the known side effects are not related to sex or toes turning upside down. I am on lipitor for many years and it is the only drug that has gotten me to, I pray, safe levels of cholesterol. I am averaging around 150-170 now and my triglycerides and cholesterol were out the roof. They both are at a good level, and again I pray they stay there. My doctor is an internal medical doctor with very careful and precise requirements. He listens to any muscle cramps I might have had, and they have come and gone, and I did worry at those times but many of those times it was probably conditioning and I am an ex high school football coach and athlete in general for the biggest part of my life. I am 58. Sometimes, I have a hard time remembering a name or face, but I take several meds, and I am not as young as I used to be when I could focus on 3 or 4 different things which was really bad for one's mental health and social health. Who wants someone not paying 100 percent attention? My point is that I feel exactly like I did when I went to pick my car up at a dealer who had repaired it. One of my neigbors started giving me this herbal spill about Himalayan goat milk curing everything! Lipitor is not for everyone. My doctor EVERY 6 months does a thorough liver and blood exam on me. If you are losing you hair or thinning like mine, welcome to mother nature. It "aint" lipitor baby ,and those sexual side effects need to be taken up with a sexual counselor it appears to me. Anyone, even with disclaimers, can see that this site once you go to if for some really curious serious intent, is seen readily as a "natural herbal garden," listing only extremist side effects for Lipitor. I am not making fun of twisted toes or sexual disfunction but please leave it off the herbal network. Go swap if for another statin and pray that it works and you have no side effects, but don't tell all those Enquirer type effects. I am sure the herbs would bring your cholesterol down in a week to 150 and cure cancer, right? Herbs have a place, but this is not a serious place for someone to learn about Lipitor. Lipitor is prescribed for a potentially fatal disease or condition. Let it lay there. Thanks for letting me tell you what I have experienced.
