I have been taking Lipitor 20 mg for 4 months. Six to eight week...

10 days may not be enough time to determine if Lipitor is responsible for your symptoms. discuss with your doc--because of biochemical changes that occur with statins, you may need to replenish such things as selenium stores, coenzyme q10, omega 3 fatty acids, etc. before any "recovery" can occur. perhaps accessing Dr. Graveline's web site would be of benefit: www.spacedoc.net

Are u doing any better ? Your side-effects made me think. About the same time I started lipitor I had an "allergic reaction" but didnt know to 'what'. I had burning in my mouth, swollen lips and had exema on the chin, down the front of my chest and stomach. So, off i went to a dermatologist which could not determine what I was allergic to. Just yesterday I read the wall street journals' article on the side-effects of statin drugs, and the connection to ALS. I am stopping L until I talk to my doctor.
