Over the past five years my doctors have steadily upped my Lipitor from 20-40-80mg and I am having a lot of symptoms. The worst symptom is a burning, numbness from my right armpit and over to my shoulderblade. I can't even stand for clothes to touch the area. I also get severe headaches and abdominal pains, diarhea, muscle spasms with shooting pains, RLS in the evenings. I've quit taking it but have found no relief from the symptoms. My doctor will not be happy with me, but he is not the one experiencing this misery!
