I am a victim from this dangerous drug. Unfortunately, most drs. don't know or don't care about the side effects since the cholesterol drug business is a HUGE racket. I stopped taking it "cold turkey" for over a year now and I still have side effects. I suggest that your husband to stop taking this poison before he has more problems. You can go to www.lipitor.com . . . you will see some of the side effects.
I had all the same symptoms plus a heap more, I would have no doubt it is the lipitor causing it. I took lots of hi-grade COQ10, fish oil, maggnessium citrate and Vit C lots of it. Though I'm still not fully recovered these supplements really helped me. Visit spacedoc dot net for heaps more valuable information. Lipitor in my experience is poison. Best for your recovery.
The response you recieved from your physicians suggests to me that they may have financial ties to the drugs. All physicians are very aware of the problems coming from these drugs.
If a physician has financial ties to a cholesterol lowering drug, or the company that makes that drug. There is a desire is to keep the customer on the drug for life, and ignore any side effects.
This is called a "conflict of interest" and it is more prevalent than you may realize.
