lipitor trying to decide to stay on it

I suggest that you stop taking this dangerous drug before you have more side effects. . . . . any drugs will cause side effects and when you to take together, you have interactions. . . .it is better to take natural products/alternatives . . . . . .just read all the posts.

I suggest that you also read Anthony Colpos book "The Great Cholesterol Con" and visit www.thincs.org, www.spacedoc.net, www.ravnskov.nu. Google "Stopped our statins". There are many interesting articles there and lots of information about side effects. All statins have similar side effects. Can appear at once or after many years. They can be very crippeling. I have seen that in people close to me and that`s why I give you this advice. Educate yourself on the cholesterol issue. Good luck

My Cholesterol has alway been a little high, and I take natural products. I have been taking Red Yeast Rice, 60MG. I take one after breakfast and one after dinner and I have been taking it for about 20 years, it has not hurt my liver, also with the Red Yeast Rice, I take flush free Niacin natural. I had started out taking one, 100 Mg after breatfast and I worked my way up to 500 Mg, slowly, now I take just that one 500 MG a day, after breatfast. I have my tests once a year. Also if you watched ABC news last week in the evening, they were talking about the Red Yeast Rice, and that the doctors can prescribed it for you, but I buy mine in Walmart. I heard of doctors taking it now because the medicine is not working for them. Good Luck, Barbara
