I am so glad I decided to check out side effects for Lipitor. I was on Lipitor for the past 5 years at the 10mg dose. I could not tell of any side effects. But recently, my work performance was going down, I was always a top performer. I could not remember things that happened they made reference to at work.I also saw mistakes, and did not correct them and wondered why things did now work right. Also I have experienced loss of short term memory, my face is swelled up and I was already losing hair, but now I think the Lipitor maybe responsible for the majority of the loss. My stomach is always churning and making noises.

Taken Lipitor for 4 years, 20mg.
Along with the muscular pains I've noticed an attitude change in my work. I am a self employed engineer, and attention to detail is essential. Nowadays, I can hardly be bothered to chase up a job, especially if it involves travel. I make mistakes more often (like connectiong 240VAC to a 24VDC device!) and I lose my temper more easily.
Been off the tablets for 2 days due to a mistake in ordering my repeat. I actually feel slightly more human in that short time! Problem is I dare not stop taking them.
On the physical side, if I remain in a position for any length of time, I have to carefully un-knot myself when I move, or the pain is horrible.
Great eh?
