my experience with Lipitor. Cholesterol a hereditary problem Ive taken so many types of Meds they work to get my nbr down but after a few yrs ended up with dbl bypass surgery. Went from 20 to 40MG by cardio doc. Which is what the common nbr shudbe for lowering chol. nbr Now I also take 10mg Ezetrol and now my nbr is down to 4.3 which is great for me. I hv not had any serious side effects with taking this drug in all these yrs. I hv bloodwork done every 6 mos. to check out liver nbr etc and all is great so far. I am 70 yrs old. But I can tell you my son on 80mg is having trouble swallowing 1st bite of food, and he thinks it is the Lipitor, but yet to be proven. Very interesting comments on this site
