My friend and her sister (80 and 64) started Lipitor at the same time and both became disoriented and forgetful quickly. They lived in two different cities, but in the same state. The younger one suddenly was driving down the highway going the wrong way. The older one, a very dear friend, told me she was having whole days slide by and I took her to a doctor, who stated she was just "getting forgetful because of her age". They quit taking Lipitor, but not before the damage was done. Every time a Lipitor commercial came on my friend would get extremely angry and say "that is the medication that ruined my life". I hope this comes out in the press and her estate sees a healthy sum for all her suffering. Her younger sister is now in a lock down dementia facility. Before taking Lipitor the younger sister was a successful businesswoman, who ran two jewelry stores and a bed and breakfast.
