This is a followup to my post made on Sep 6 2004 (see #7024). Since then my upper back pain has finally gone away. I read about a study where it was found that taking lipitor everyother day was just as effective as taking it everyday. So figuring maybe the side-effects was from the dosage just being too high I decided last week to give it another try and to be even more conservative and just take it twice a week. I took 10 mg. on Monday and another 10 mg. on Thursday and now my upper back and neck pain is back again! That's it for me. NO MORE LIPITOR! This drug is just too dangerous!!! The doctors are really out of touch with the reality of the situation. I reported it to my doctor and he says I'm imagining things and it's all in my head and says lipitor is so safe it should be in the drinking water supply and demanded that I just keep taking it. I think it's time to find a new doctor. This drug will make you feel old very quickly.
