I was taking Lipitor for about 12yrs.I noticed that my right calf was less than half the size of my left calf. I showed this to my doctor and he immediately took me off Lipitor. They sent me to a specialist and they decided the loss of calf muscle was to to back problems. To this day I feel that Lipitor was the cause of muscle loss.

You are absolutely right !! This dangerous drug can cause MANY side effects. Unfortunately, most drs. don't know or don't care about the side effects since the drug business is a HUGE racket.
