Folks, Lipitor is the most widely prescribed drug. People are bla...

You should stop to judge everyone. People have real problems from Lipitor . . .like me. When you have side effects from Lipitor, then you and like of thousands know. DON"T BE A PIN--HEAD.

Yo why is it the most widely prescribed drug? And do some checking there are now similarities between this and society tolerance of marijuana by that I mean 30 yrs after the hippes we had judges who had tried some dope when they were students so no fooling them they know because they had tried.
Today we have many highly experinced, intelligent, senior and respected health professionals whom are not in the area of heart health BUT have been prescribed statins and fallen victims themselves, read their reports. A lot of people don't have a problem but an un acceptable amount of people do have a problem. A coroner in England has ruled a sane healthy man was driven to take his own life by jumping in front of a train because he could take no more of the pain caused by statins - check it for yourself. I was within weeks of doing the same. I don't blame the drug. I blame the lack of warnings. They had on the packet don't eat grapefruit nothing about alcohol, ya dick may die, ya body may be wreaked in pain, ya memory might go, ya might make a dick of ya self sober. Wait till a few more respected physicians go down with it and then the whole worl will take notice.

The Drug companies have done a good job on you andx a million other doctors. I was on Lipitor for a number of years. Over this timed I have developed many of the same symptoms as the othedrs posted here but
thought it was just old age at 65. I recently had tachycardia and they installed a Pace Maker to regulate. Since then I have not been able to
sleep in a regular bed due to continuous bouts with Heart Failure an must
sleep in a inclined position. Even then I would wake up four or five times a night. I have been to the best cardiologist to find out what is the cause and they have givin me every test known to man with no solution. Now
here is my point. My son a researcher by trade was so concerned he
researched for the answer. He then sent me an article describing all known side effects of Statin drugs and how to eliminate them. The article described how Statins deplete the natural enzymes in the muscles and
the Heart is a muscle an can caused Heart Failure due to low levels of
COQ10. Other research backed that report. I felt like I had nothing to lose
my doctor had no suggestions so I told him I was going off Lipitor fo 90
days an taking 400mg COQ10. By the end of the first week I was able to sleep normally in a bed an my Heart Failure has not reoccured. My endurance is improving and I am much less out of breath. That to me
is a miracle and thank god for my son.
