I am 43yrs old took lipitor for 2 months.I started having weak muscles,felt like i had worked out all the time.I started gaining weight,which i have always been pretty slim, my feet hurt so bad just to get out of bed is very painful. My legs are weak just to pull myself from sitting position i have to have help.My doctor rechecked my blood the lipitor made my protein,cq-10 very low.I have been off of it for 1 month feeling little relief .Taking cq-10 small improvement i would rather have high cholesterol than feel the pain, by the way i am female i also had stomach pains and heartburn which i have never had this medicine needs to be removed i am very upset for what it has done to me.

I am a victim of Lipitor too . . . . I stopped taking it over 16 mos. ago and I still have side effects. I take natural products and alternatives to help. I am still angry about the HUGE racket . . . the drs. and the drug co's . . . . .big $$ and many people suffer.

I agree with 777. Statins are a huge racket.
