Lipitor Leg Cramps, Mood Swings, Last November, Seven Months, Insomnia
Posted over a year ago
What a rotten drug. The past seven months have been hell for me. I am 42 years of age and put on this crap last November. I have suffered from bad headaches, leg cramps, Insomnia, Plantar Fasciitis, mood swings and the list goes on. After seeing this site and all your responses I believe the best thing to do is get of the crap. I will write in 2 weeks to give an update.
cheers from Down Under
777 - This dangerous drug can cause MANY side effects. I stopped taking this POISON in 2-08 and still have side effects. . . . I am still angry about the drs. and drug co's that push it . . . . it is all about $$$ and we suffer.
Bobby - Statins are clearly NOT the road to good health. Blocking the body's ability to make cholesterol is not the answer to cardiovascular disease. But due to public perception ( thats the key word- perception) that Cholesterol is the enemy, the populations reach into their wallets to pay billions of dollars for a scam therapy.
Blake_7 - I train and compete for Ironman distance triathlons. I have all the other symptoms you mentioned, wild mood swings, headaches, lack of sleep and etc. The biggest problem I've experienced is cramping in the calves and arches. I've been to every specialist in this area from doctors to PTs to ARTs, muscle specialists, and chiroprators. I've had every test under the sun wasting a lot of money. Ultimatley I a massage therapist trying to work out my nasty cramps ask if I wasn on Lipitor as he has seen leg cramping as bad as mine only with other clients of his on Lipitor. I'm off the crap and improving weekly!
