http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966 I am a 54 year old male who started taking Lipitor about 4 years ago. It seemed OK at first, but over the next several years I began to have increasing amounts of joint pain after exercise. Nor muscle pain, joint pain. And it seemed to be a result of exe Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:25:35 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11745 It is interestly and sad that apparently that many healthcare profession don't know that Lipitor is a dangerous drug. I took the poison for 8 years because, my dr. scared me if I didn't take it I would have an early heart attack or a stroke. Nearly 7 mos. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11745 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:40:05 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11746 Sooner or later, everyone taking a statin will suffer side effects. The onset of side effects may occur quickly for some but may be delayed for many years for others. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11746 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:01:53 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11753 Wow, I can not thank you enough, the credibility of a physcian certainly helps us. My statin problem was very close to fatal. I stopped a car one evening while walking and attacked it with my walking stick, poor lady driver.I now get noise and thinking pai http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11753 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:43:58 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11882 Thank you for your posting. I have been studying statin side effects for seven years now. Although I am not a medical professional, I am very familiar with stories like yours of stopping and reinstating a statin only to have the symptoms return immediatel http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11882 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:59:05 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11947 Ah, good to know that you were taking 200 mgs per day of CoQ10 with your Lipitor but it still DID NOT keep you from suffering from joint pain and side effects from statins. Thanks for that one because it could prove that just because one is taking CoQ10, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=11947 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 21:22:58 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=12161 Dear n8healer would you be so kind as to give me a professional opinion that I could take to my doctor. Question being do you think some form of low dose steroid may assist my aching statin muscles? I totally respect my new doctor who has said to me he can http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=12161 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 23:10:03 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=12318 Lipitor does not have a concession on these wide spectrum of side effects. So does my personal experience with Zocor. When you are taking several medications for hypertension and chronic depression, it is easy to blame one or all of these medications for http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=12318 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:49:38 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=17384 I have never taken statins myself - nor would I. I have seen the suffering in people close to me and that certainly made an impression. It made me look for more information and that´s what I think that everyone should do. There are doctors/scient http://www.medications.com/effect/view/33966?item=17384
