Ok, all that I've read has me really freaked out - I was put on 10mg. of Lipitor about a week ago. I was going to see if anyone had/has experienced headaches with Lipitor. I notice that each evening I start getting an awful headache. My cholosterol has been the same for a year - good cholosterol is really good; bad cholosterol is slightly elevated. The doctor said because of my "age" and since it hadn't gone down, I should go on Lipitor for 90 days and see how it goes - and, to watch my diet. My age is 69. I really, really don't want to take this stuff after reading all the bad reviews. Has anyone else had the headaches?

I notice I too get headaches almost every night after I take my Lipitor. I've had to reduce my dosage from 20 mg down to 5 mg because of the leg cramps but now I get headaches instead.
