38-yo Male. Been taking Lipitor for about two years now for high cholesterol, otherwise healthy. Experiencing occasional cramping/muscle spasms in left forearm that sometimes cause my hand to form a fist. Slight tremor in both hands. Also experiencing lower back ache (again left side mostly) that is most apparent when getting out of bed in the morning. Blurry vision. Tests performed last year by a neurologist for the arm/hand cramping came back negative. This site is truly a valuable resource, as I am stopping Lipitor TODAY. Will follow up in a few months (or sooner if symptoms change).

if you are still having side effects to Lipitor, coq-10 can help. Available at super markets, health food stores etc... but cheapest on-line. I was told 300mg a day but had to go up to 900 mg a day and the symptoms started to lesson in 3 days and were GONE within a week! You have to keep taking it or they will come back as your body repairs itself, I found out the hard way, But I was on crutches unable to walk, I also took Acetyl L-Carnitine 500mg 3X a day. If you have any questions I posted 9-4-7 and feel free to contact me, God Bless
