I have been off Lipitor for 2 weeks now. I still have slurred speech. My tongue is moving to beat the band. I have been to 2 neurologists and both have told me that I have "motor neuron disease". This drug is POISON and anyone on it should get off of it. I never had a problem before I started taking this drug. Now I am looking at ALS as a diagnosis. That is awful to think that I might have that. I will find out on April 14th when I go visit my Dr. at Mass General. I will let everyone know what comes out of it. P.

Glad you finally stopped taking this dangerous drug. As I said before . . . . .this poison can cause MANY side effects. Most drs. don't know about the side effects and don 't care. A lot of people spend $ and time/tests to find out that Lipitor has been the cause. Unfortunately, it takes time to heal and some people never.

Amongst my heaps of side effects, I had slurry, unable to think, vile inappropriate language, complete mental stall unable to speak, severe agitation, hallucinations, gazing, ridiculously severe memory, amnesia that's just the head part. I can honestly say that it now seems it was only my finger nails that weren't affected by this poison. reading your post I would have no doubt that Lipitor is your problem. this absolutely sucks, judges, cops in high speed chases, airline pilots, everyday car drivers are potentially as dangerous as "P" drug addicts. The whole statin - cholestrol thesis makes the biggest multi billion dollar fraud look like petty theft. When these b#####ds are evntually bought to justice we want them tried in China BANG no tears. Best for your recovery.

I would like to see swift justice and the statin criminals prosecuted in China.

Since we are in a deep recession, and Las Vegas isn't doing very well, I say we fence off the state of Nevada and make the entire state a prison for everyone who participated in the statin scandal. Problem is, I'm afraid that Nevada isn't big enough to hold all the statin inmates.
