My husband has been taking Lipitor 20mg for 1 week. He immediately became fatigued (this is a 44 year old man who has NEVER used an alarm clock in his life and now, sleeps through the alarm clock for 45 minutes until I shake him to wake up), experienced joint pain in 1 of his knees and the sme side ankle. Needless to say, he will not be taking this medication anymore. I also reported this to the FDA because I read the following online: U.S. patients can report side effects to the FDA themselves -- by logging onto the MedWatch Web site ( http://www.fda.gov/medwatch). But few know about this option. The FDA needs to know how bad this drug is for people. I hope more people read everything that is written here to save themselves or loved ones from the pain and suffering caused by Lipitor. Michelle
