I have been reading about the side effects of lipitor for several...

hi ,my father also one of the victim of lipitor and no doctor found that it was the lipitor but after searching these side i got the point that all my father problem was lipitor ,he has been stop the medication for 1 year and some days he feels good but again very bad ,so the recovery time will be very long he is taking coq10 ,magnesium,milk thistle,to control his cholestrol.i hope for all of you full recovery.good luck

Get off the lipitor! My husband was having all these side effects but we were unaware that they were so dangerous. Switch to another drug, maybe Zetia. My husband passed away and looking back, all the side effects were the result of his death.

M8 I'm almost identical to yourself, but I have had more side effects than what you have reported. I need to warn you I found that after I stopped Lipex, the intense symptoms eased off over night or 3 days anyway BUT speaking now with the benifit of hindsight severe withdrawal symptons arose, massive night sweats, frightening hallucinations, ejaculations with out arousal, (have been non active since starting lipex 3 yrs B4) etc etc etc. I'm now over 4 months off the shit but am still needing serious narcotic pain killer everyday. However my quality of life including memory, mental and emotional stabiltity have all improved dramatacally. My advice is to take COQ10, eat healthy and dairy free, put your mind into acceptance and pain managment (not cure) be grateful to be alive and grateful to those around you. I know how hard it is to accept that we have been poisoned by the very people (doctors) that we put our full trust in. What else can we do? my hatred and anger was vicious, it wasn't helping me recover. Good luck and the sooner this scandal blows the better. From New Zealand. PS No spell check!!!
