I have been on Lipitor for 5 weeks. My doctor prescribed 20 mg, but I reduced it to 10 after a few days. I have been retaining water, at least that is what I thought it was, and today could hardly walk, feet heavy. feet swollen and hands, and strange feelings in my feet, legs, hands and arms. Very scary stuff. I am off Lipitor it as of today. Any suggestions? My bad cholesteral is 204 and good is 40.
