tastes gross -- heavy mint flavor. felt like it was burning my esophagus all the way down, then dry heaves once it hit my stomach. but it didn't make me actually vomit, and the burning sensation went away quickly. was prescribed cambia as a backup to maxalt, since triptans can be taken only 2 days/week. unfortunately, it didn't work at all on my migraines, so i'll continue to look for something else as a backup.

toe tinglingling, numbness in toes, feel like i am in a fog most of the day, memory impaired, hair loss ( major symptom for me), low grade headache, vision impaired, calf pain. lipitor does help reduce total serum cholesterol considerably in many patients but the side effects of this 'poisonous' medication are extremely alarming. i fail to comprehend why this medication is still permitted to be on the market as there is evidence that those who have been on long term have suffered irreversible muscle damage plus other permanent side effects. how come no one has sued the manufacturers as yet? do patients have to die first before a pharmaceutical entity can be sued? surely some of the people who have written in to this site should get together and institute litigation?.

hair fell out, insomnia, areas of fat under the skin became sore to the touch, last straw was ringing in the ears. i took 10mg of lipitor daily for about 5 months. it did a fantastic job of lowering my cholesterol, and improving the good/bad ratio. eventually, the insomnia, and the ringing in the ears (tinnitus) caused me to stop it. after 2 months on nothing i tried 5mg of crestor (one dose), and had to lie in bed with a heating pad on my legs for the aching it caused (like the flu). i know many people who tolerate statin drugs without a problem, but for me, it's just not worth the side effects. i won't try again.

the last two years i have had severe pain in my feet and legs with a definite decrease in muscle strength. have spent a fortune on orthodics and shoes. i take a very small amount because i have always been hyper sensitive to drugs. i am now convinced it is the lipitor and am going to stop immediately as a test. it definitely lowers cholesterol. my ldl cut in half. the research is still out though.

severe pain in right heel and related tendons. muscle cramping in left lower leg. took 10 mg daily for four months, then finally had to stop due to inablity to walk down stairs due to the pain (i am 41, and run a 5k every day, so this should not be the case). under doctor's orders am to wait for full muscle recovery, then try again at 1/2 dosage. if pain returns i will have to seek other alternatives besides lipitor. the drug did knock my cholesteral down by 55%, so i have motivation to try and make it work.

severe fatigue in my body and tiredness and muscle pains in my hips that continue to this day after being off the drug for almost a year. do not take this drug!!!!!!!. i was put on this drug by my doctor for my somewhat high cholesterol. the next day, after starting this drug, i suddenly felt like i had aged to eighty years old overnight but did not connect it to starting lipitor. up until the start of this drug i felt that i was as young as i was in my twenties and wondered if this is how you might start feeling the affects of age, by waking up one morning and feeling all that age caught up with you and now you were older than your years. i took the drug for two terrible months and then had a blood test and my cholesterol had dropped. my doctor mailed me the results of my blood test but did not send me a new prescription like he had the last time so i did not know that he wanted me to get it refilled. so i went off of lipitor and within two months i was feeling normal again and even took a job with the post office where i walked five miles a day with no problem. i did not associate my getting better with my coming off lipitor, unfortunately. then i had an appointment with my doctor and he said i should have refilled that prescription by calling his office. so i did and the next day, after taking only one pill, i was eighty years old again. this time i did associate it with the start of lipitor and then read the warnings the drug store gives you with meds and found that my symptoms were the same as what they warned against. i am not a hypochondriac and i never read those warnings so this was not a head thing. i immediately went off the drug but a year later i am still have the same eighty years old feeling and do not know that i will ever be normal again. i do not understand how just one pill can do that and this time i am not recovering like i did the first time. this has ruined my life and i would never have taken lipitor if i knew what i know now and i am so sorry that i ever heard of this drug. this is so severe that i think taking it for even a short time can cause permanent damage. my doctor, when i told him of all this, wanted to change statins because he was still worried about my cholesterol. i told him no more statins and he then prescribed zetia, which he said was was less effective but was not a statin, which i am still afraid to take unless i improve from the affects of the lipitor. he told me he was on lipitor himself and that he had no problems but then said, well he did have neck pains that could have been a side affect, but that he had been on the drug two years before this developed. i told him of the information on this site that describes some people having that delayed reaction and i advised him to take himself off of this drug for a couple of weeks to see if the neck pains cleared up! i advise, do not take this drug!!!!!.

i have not clinically proved my theory yet , but i strongly believe that taking lipitor for 4 years ended up giving me multiple sclerosis. i am a 37 yr old male, i was diagnosed with ms two months ago. my cholesterol was it's highest at 212 when my gp prescribed the drug. my total cholesterol while on it got down to 130 ish. this is too low in my opinion and my body began attacking my cns and now have to live with this. again, this has not yet proven, nor have i gone down that road yet. big pharma wants to promote the use of statins to treat ms, when i stopped taking mine (jan 2010)that is when my symptoms became present?? i may have been the human rat in that theory. to make matters even worse, the therapy my neurologist wants to put me on, just so happens to be the same company that mfg.'s lipitor. hmmm!.

for the first 8 days of ever taking it, the only side effect was a similar feeling you get when you have an empty stomach and light nausea that lasted for no more that 30 minutes after 8 days, the feeling elevated to an annoying sharp pain in my stomach. then two days later, i had to stop using it because the pain was becoming unbearable. now i have been off for two days and i still have the stomach pain. aside from the stomach pain, it worked miracle on my nighttime spinal pain. now i have to see my doctor again to see if i should keep taking it. i tried naprosyn just before and had to stop taking it for the same reasons.

for the first 8 days of ever taking it, the only side effect was a similar feeling you get when you have an empty stomach and light nausea that lasted for no more that 30 minutes after 8 days, the feeling elevated to an annoying sharp pain in my stomach. then two days later, i had to stop using it because the pain was becoming unbearable. now i have been off for two days and i still have the stomach pain. aside from the stomach pain, it worked miracle on my nighttime spinal pain. now i have to see my doctor again to see if i should keep taking it. i tried naprosyn just before and had to stop taking it for the same reasons.

a few years after the dosage was raised to 40 mg, i began to have a sharp pain in the ball of my right foot, diagnosed as a neuroma. (it seemed more like metatarsalgia to me.) then the left foot started hurting also. i nearly stopped walking for 6 months, hoping to get better to avoid surgery. i stopped lipitor as an experiment, and after 3 days the pain changed completely. it began to heal after that. every week since has been a marked improvement. after 7 weeks, it's nearly healed. i can again hike for miles without the horrible pain i experienced for over 6 months while taking this drug. lipitor did control cholesterol, but isn't it really inflamation causing heart disease and stroke, and not the cholesterol? is everyone barking up the wrong tree here? and what is the price of all the weird side effects no one can recognize?.

myalgia
severe muscle pain in shoulders radiating through the chest, cramping in back muscles, calves and hamstrings. severe muscle pain after working out with weights, all the while losing strength. difficulty with memory at times (i.e. remembering a name or a word). my shoulder pain resulted in a visit to a specialist who said inflammation was present but no torn rotator cuff. prescribed physical therapy which made it hurt even more. i first noticed the pain several months in to taking the drug. after an er visit due to severe back spasm/cramp, my cardiologist suggested going off the drug and in the past 10 days, no cramping, the shoulder pain has eased 80% and i actually feel good. because of blockage issues i need to move on to another drug like crestor or zocar but after reading some of the comments i am concerned. the medication worked at lowering my cholesterol (127 with good cholesterol over 40 and bad cholesterol under 70) but at a steep price physically.
