My father was on Lipitor and he quit the medication almost one years ago, it looks strange that some times he felt good for about two days and back to his old symptom (weakness all over body, hard to turn around get out of chair or stinging down and many more) just 3 days ago he was back to normal almost 70%for 2 days and then worse gain does this happen to anyone else like this.by the way he is taking Zetia with 5mg he is doing good but with 10mg he felt very bad swell on feet very weak even felt like his heart is failing.
