I've been off Lipitor for 8 weeks and am better but still have muscle pain. I had another CPK test and it was now down to normal. The cholesterol was up again after being off the Lipitor but my cardiologist wants me off of all cholesterol lowering drugs including niacin until the muscle problem subsides. Now it is low fat and cholesterol diet. I hope the muscle damage is not permanent. At least my doctor is lisenting to me at last.
