I took Lipitor for 6 weeks. After 5 days I was catapulted into a terrible depression. I reported it to the doctor who convinced me to continue with the lipitor although I decreased the dosage from 20mg to 10mg. After 5 weeks I developed severe leg muscle pain. Four days later I discontinued the drug. Five months later I am still disabled. I feel like I have no muscle control in my left leg and foot and have severe knee pain. I also feel like my knee joint is collapsing. My doctor refuses to believe that this is due to lipitor and has diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. Any hope that this is going to get better?
