After bypass surgery 10 years ago my doctor put me on lipitor and I've been on it ever since,numerous times I told my doctor that I was tired all the time acheing in my shoulders,he never once took me off lipitor,I found out just a week ago that statens are very dangerous,that if you are on them you should be taking coq10 to replace the cell damage statens have caused. Ask your doctor why he hasn't told you about coq10. I quit lipitor on my own,and feel so much better.Believe me take coq10 gel caps,this 65 year old is a believer in this.

I am a victim of this dangerous drug too. My drs. scared me to continue to use it. Fortunately, I did some research and I stopped taking it myself. They continue push ANY drugs . . . . because that's all they know. They need to take classes on nutrition and alternatives.

Glad to hear you are feeling better since quiting the Lipitor. Your story of the doctor keeping you on lipitor despite your suffering is all too common. Its as if the doctors have financial interest in the drug. Cholesterol inhibition is risky. Those who take statins have about a 15% chance of suffering unaceptable side effects. Some debilitating. Those who don't ever take a statin have a 0% chance of ever being injured by them.
