Lipitor and sense of smell

A little over 2 weeks ago I lost my sense of sweet taste and I think the newly discovered sense of taste related to glutamate. I was on 20 mg of Lipitor daily. When I found the fine print on the package insert related to loss of taste (after 4 days), I dropped to 10 mgs for two days but the effect did not lessen so I stopped altogether. At first everything tasted like bitter cardboard. Now over 2 weeks later everything tastes bland with no sense of sweetness whatsoever. I have been able to taste salt all along. This has nothing to do with my sense of smell since that still works fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar reaction and, if so, how long it lasted?

I have developed a complete loss of smell - anosmia. The decline began somewhat in conjunction with my beginning a regimen of 20mg Lipitor /day. The decline was gradual until now I have no sense of smell. Are there other reports of similar side effects?
