61 year old female, on Lipitor 2002-2005 10 mgs a day. Doc increased dose 2006-current to 20 mgs a day. No muscle problems BUT hair has thinned out dramatically! Doc called today and reduced dose back to 10 mgs for 6 weeks as liver enzymes up with tests last week. Also have tingling in feet. Haven't read all the posts here yet as just found site today but anyone else losing hair and taking drug? If you had hair loss and quit the drug, did your hair come back? If your liver tests were higher and you cut back on the dose, did your numbers go down?
Yes, my hair started to fall too and it grew back after I stopped taking lipitor. I was on it for about a year. It took about 6 months before my hair thickened up again. 8 months have passed and I still have the burning sensations in my hands, and my feet are still stiff but manageable.

Not only I got hair loss but had tingling on left arm, muscle pains, pinching on my shoulder blades. Had been using Lipitor for about 2 years. I finally stopped 4 months ago, but I still have these symptons. Gradually the symptoms are lessening. I hope it will be gone soon. I'm just taking vitamins and herbal medicines to flush out this horrible drug out of my system.
