I took it for one month only. In the first week I was extremely fatigued but ignored it. Then I got stiffness in my fingers. I started getting cramps in my feet and legs. I stopped the medication after exactly one month. It has been one month since I stooped taking it. But my symptoms have not gone away. My arms and legs are still stiff. I develop severe pain in my left arms. There is a terrible tingling sensation in my body when I sleep. I am going to see a neurologist next week. I hope there is no permanent nerve damage. I have started taking Lyrica 50 mg in the mean time to get rid of this tingling sensation.

It is surprising that you got side effects in one month. It usually takes months/years. I would be interested what your neurologist says. Most drs. don't know anything about Lipitor and the side effects . . . . they rely to the drug co's. Be careful for the Lyrica that you are using now. It has a lot side effects too. There are many natural products that are safer. I wish I knew before I used Lipitor for 8 years. I stopped in feb., but I still have the side effects.
