I am so glad I decided to check out side effects for Lipitor. I was on Lipitor for the past 5 years at the 10mg dose. I could not tell of any side effects. But recently, my work performance was going down, I was always a top performer. I could not remember things that happened they made reference to at work.I also saw mistakes, and did not correct them and wondered why things did now work right. Also I have experienced loss of short term memory, my face is swelled up and I was already losing hair, but now I think the Lipitor maybe responsible for the majority of the loss. My stomach is always churning and making noises.
