Lipitor lowered my cholestorol from 234 to 134 in a month. It was amazing that my cholestorol level went down so fast, but I experienced my skin being extremely dry, fine bumpy skin that appeared to look like the measles on my arms and legs no matter how much lotion I put on them. I was always itching and was upset because my skin was so dry. This is the only problem I had with the drug. I changed to Zocor today, but with all the horror stories I have read on this website about the drug I am very sketical. My cholestorol went back to 238 after I stop taking the drug, Lipitor so I have to try Zocor so I can lower it again. I will stop Zocor if I experience any of the side effects that others have experienced. I am 47 years old and everyone must know that side effects are different with everybody and you must be willing to first try things before you can say that a drug has the same effect on you.
