Started on Lipitor 10 mg 6/16/03 Thought only side effect to watch for was liver problem. Noticed muscle pain (and I mean SEVERE muscle pain--could not sleep because of it and literally crying every day. I blamed it on the fact that I'd gone off hormone replacement therapy.) in late August/early Sept, but didn't associate it with Lipitor until a friend mentioned he'd had problems. I stopped taking it right away and saw my doctor. She tested me for rheumatoid arthritis (came back negative). I've been off it for little over a month. Some days I think I'm getting better and other days aren't so good. The big question I have is: How long before I will be "normal" again?
