After being on liptor for about six weeks I began to feel very depressed and unmotivated and weepy. I had pain in my shoulder and back and left arm and forearm and couldn't sleep at night. I had tingling in both hands. All in all I was miserable. My doctor has since taken me off-only a couple of days off-but already all of the above symptoms have disappeared. I am trying to control my high cholestrol with diet and exercise only. It was only slightly high!
