I am a 46 old male in good health. My doctor put me on Lipitor bacause my cholesterol was 286. After taking Lipitor for approx. one year it was lowered to 219. In my opinion, the cost was to high. My short term memory is shot all to hell. I have pain in areas I never hurt at before. My vision is blurred, my sex drive went from 110% to 10%. I used to be on the go work outside all day. My wife would ask "why can't you set still for awhile?" Now I don't feel like getting off the sofa.
