Read all Lipitor side effects

At about the time i started to take Lipitor (10 mg) two years ago, I started to experience severe neck pain which I attributed to spending 8 hours bending over y laptop. I went through physiotherapy, and the therapist recommended a cylindrical pillow which proved o be quite effective. However, my biceps tended to be sore when I woke up. Last week I suffered excruciating pain in the right hip joint. My doctor appeared to finally link my problems to Lipitor advised that i stop taking Lipitor immediately. The hip pain subsided within a couple of days, but a vague feeling of fatigue and dizziness persist.

Good that you stopped taking this dangerous drug. I am a victim of this poison. I stopped taking it over a year ago and I still have side effects. I am taking several natural products to help it and control my cholesterol. . Everyone is different. . . . . hopefully, you will heal soon.

Glad to hear you are feeling better after stopping. But I have a question that nobody ever asks in these forums.

Out of your pocket, and the insurance company's pocket, how much total money did they get you for?

I didn't ask that to be smart or anything. I just want readers to realize what this statin thing is really all about.
