http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121 I have stopped taking Lipitor after 3 yrs. I was told I had a mini-stroke because of my slurred speech 6 mo. ago. Since then I have had a battery of tests and my neurologist told me "I don't think you had a stroke." I saw the words "Motor Neuron Disease" Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:07:52 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18266 Good that you stopped taking this poison . . . .it can cause MANY side effects. I am a victim of Lipitor too. Unfortunately, it takes time to rid this dangerous drug from your body/mind. Good luck. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18266 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 15:19:44 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18267 14 months since ceasing statins, I sometimes completely mentally stall when talking to someone, for a few moments I can neither think or speak.

I believe it should be a federal crime to prescribe, sell, or dispense a statin drug. Right now I respect my garbage man more than a physician who prescibes this junk. Its all a big racket. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18286 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 15:34:20 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18306 I was taking 20mg of Lipitor a day for 8 months. I have ended up with weakness, and slurred speech. My doctor told me I did not have a stroke and the words "motor neuron disease" came to a neurologists mouth. I did not know what that was but is is commo http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18306 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 16:59:20 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/40121?item=18310 Sandwich, as I told you when you were asking a question . . . .this dangerous drug can cause MANY side effects. So many people spent a lot of $ and time, to find out that their problems stemmed from this poison.
