Boy, after reading all the negative testimonials on Lipitor, I will throw mine in the garbage. That is what they are meant for. I have severe headache, and muscle pain, and foggy head, and I have only been on the crap for 2 months. I believe a lot of people's health is being ruined, and a lot of deaths are happening as well because of Lipitor and other statins. Mark my word, one day this drug will be withdrawn from the market, and the poor Pharmacutial companies will be in huge trouble.. They have the world convinced that we all need statins to bring cholesterol down.. The era when my parents lived , and lived long lives, and on farms, with butter, bacon, lots of fats, and never heard the word STATIN. I think every one that is writing to this forum and complaining about LIPITOR, should make a phone call to PYzier and tell them your side effects, that is the only way anything positive will come from this forum.. thank you for listening... I have called Pyzier and told them as well.

Good that you stopped this dangerous drug. I did it too, on 2-08. Unfortunately, I still have many side effects. I mailed a report to the FDA on 4-08, trying to ban Lipitor. I received a form letter and that's it. Unfortunately, the drs. don't know anything about the side effects of the drugs that they continue to push. I am sure that the drug co's are aware of their poison drugs. . . . they don't care how people will suffer . . . . all they care is the $$$.

Tennis, I have to agree with you 100%. Its only public perception that lowering cholesterol will prevent heart disease and prevent early life, but that has never been proven. In fact, recent studies show no benefit from lowering cholesterol. The most recent Vytorin study FAILED. Now the most recent Crestor study FAILED. Bottom line: Despite drastic lowering of cholesterol, There is no reduction in arterial plaque and no reduction in mortality. However, those who do lower cholesterol are subject to suffer poor health.

Please never throw unused drugs in the garbage, take them to your pharmacist for proper disposal, otherwise they could end up eventually in drinking water.

my dad has been on Lipitor for 15 years and he also had back surgery so months ago he started complaining with his back then he got real weak in his hips one day he colasped on the floor we put in the hospital and the dr. did all kinds of tests they said it is the Lipitor and now my dad is in a wheel chair cannot walk at all , He has since had a stroke , surgery for urinenary retention, aches all over. All of this came from the Lipitor but we did not realize what was going on untill it was to late.I pray some of you who have not gotten this bad off will take heed this drug is very dangerous.and it can be fatal.unless God heels my dad life as he knew it 6mos. ago is over for him.
I hope this help someone see what the statins can do for you. To beat it all my dad did not even have high cholestrol he has cojestive hear failure this was a so called prentive drug. Well gee thanks i think he would have been better off with his chances of getting high cholestrol. thanks for listening
