I started Lipitor 6 years ago. Since then I have had varying degrees of exhaustion, overall muscle weakness and interstitial muscle aches. After a directory of doctors who put me through multiple blood tests, muscle and nerve funcionality evaluations and MRI's, a newspaper ad last week by the manufacturers of Lipitor listed all the muscle problems I was having. I screamed Hallelujah! or maybe Eureka! then I quit all cholesterol control meds. I am having withdrwal symptoms, cannot sleep the night through, frequent urination, vision focus changes and loss of appetite (good). NO MORE! Two years ago I quit cold turkey Efffexor, testosterone injections and Ambien, three months of hell for my wife and myself by I can sleep now without pills, Rosea has just about disappeared, don't need a CPAP machine at night anymore, and about four other symptoms disappeared. OH BOY!
