I took Lipitor for 3-4 years, and it didn't seem to control my numbers. Sometimes up sometimes down. I am at 360 now.
I am a weight lifter , walk 10 miles a day and have had high numbers since 28, now 48.
After years with Lipitor I lost libido function. I was literally numb, no urge, a slight desire but no reation. 2 years off, and I am alot better though not as good as before.
Two Phara sales (relatives)people told me Pfizer has been settling out of court on this libido issue. Which gave me strength challenge the doctors choices.
Now they're trying to give me Tricor.

I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

I have been taking Lipitor for the last year. Recently I started to have stomach pains on the right side. An ultra sound revealed that I had developed cysts on my liver.
-- By mila | Reply | Send Private MailI had a CT scan this week which confirmed the cysts, and also a thickening of my stomach walls.
I had a colonoscopy and upper GI, and everything checked out ok but they took a biopsy of my stomach lining.
Even though I had low cholesterol my doctor prescribed Lipitor as a preventative drug. I strongly urge people to discontinue its use. I exercise daily, am a vegetarian, and have a low stress job. I have always been very healthy. This is the first time I have a problem.
