Lipitor has several bad side effects. I started on the drug in July 1997 and I was on it for about twenty months. During that time I began having numbness and tingling in my feet and hands. I went to eight doctors over this period of time and was subjected to many tests to find out what was wrong, only to find out from the last one that I have periphial neuropathy in both hands and feet, caused by Lipitor, I also suffer from muscle pain, weakness and balance issues as well. I have irreversible damage. Lipitor depletes the bodies CoQ10 and other essential nutrients, it also breaks down muscle tissue. Go off Lipitor completely if your value your health. I'm still sufferring after ten years, this has ruined my life. There are alternative products your can take for Cholestrol . Consult a naturopathic doctor not one who is influenced by the drug companies. SA
