I've been taking lipitor for 2 and a half years and have recently started getting a severe stabbing pain in the front thigh muscle. It is so painful it stops you dead in your tracks. I have stopped taking the Lipitor for a week now and the pain has gone. I also have memory loss and dizzy spells but don't know if that can be contributed to lipitor. I also have problems with co-ordination and speech. As I am only 46 I don't think it is old age!

I am 54 years old, been taking Lipitor on and off for a year or two. Sometimes I get severe heartburn and have to stop. But now I often get dizzy spells and feel light headed. I've also noticed racing heart or heart palpitations. And if I have to sit and listen to a lecture or read something that isn't interesting, I get very tired.
