I'm a woman, about to turn 50.....and have been experimenting wit...

Coincidently after I started taking Zarator (the name of Lipitor in Portugal) I've got floaters drifting in my eyes and blurred vision. My eye doctor told me that there was no relation at all. Because I was not convinced I made a search on the internet and found lots of people describing the same symptoms I am experiencing. Today, I stopped with Zarator. I DO NOT ABOUT DOCTORS BELIEVE! ZARATOR NEVER MORE!

I can't believe what I'm reading. I was certain there was something very wrong with me. I have always had headaches but nothing like these. They stop me in my tracks. Nothing works..not even Imitrex. I am exhausted beyond belief. I can fall asleep at my desk any time of the day. I find my eyes closing on my commute into work in the morning. Most days I feel nauseous and was thinking I had some type of food allergy. I've had such blurred vision that I could barely see my computer screen. My joints ache terribly and I have a strange pain under the right side of my rib cage ( I was thinking it was my gall bladder). When I went in to see my doctor about the headaches, she pulled me off of Lipitor immediately and scheduled a CT scan to be sure there wasn't anything else going on. I was only on Lipitor 10 mg since August. But, I'm not starting to realize that all of my health issues are directly related to this drug. I stopped taking it a couple weeks ago. I still have all of the side affects but am hoping they subside in the very near future. I have missed a lot of work because of this and was feeling very frustrated until I read this. Thanks for this posting. I at least have some peace of mind of what is going on. Now I just hope I can go back to normal.
P.S. - Anyone out there have a feeling like there is pressure on your chest (like a panic or anxiety attack) while on Lipitor. Or pain from Varicose veins since using Lipitor?
