I am a 69 year old female and have always been in good health and very active. I have been taking Lipitor for years and the side effects have been gradual. After my daughter gave me an article on the side effects of Lipitor, I could not believe what I was reading. I have so many of the same side effects that are in the article -- weakness in arms and legs, dizzy most days till late afternoon, my hands have become shakey and I recently have been falling a lot. My hand writing is getting worse and I can't seem to remember things. I have bad pain in neck and back and I feel fatigued almost all the time. I don't enjoy doing things I used to do as I just do not seem to have any energy. If I had my way, I would stay in bed most of the day. People that have know me for awhile say that I have not been the same person for awhile. I have an appointment with my doctor and plan on discussing all of this with her.
