User Comments about Lipitor
09 Dec 2008 developed parkinson's disease after taking Lipitor for 4 yrs. feel its effect upon isoprenylation of proteins, and thus decresed production of glutathione reductase and coenzyme Q10 as well as dolichols all contributed to mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in parkinson's disease

18 Nov 2008 Lipitor caused muscle damage at my shoulders and back and legs (could not tide bike due to muscle cramps) and pain was very severe so my doc switched me to Lipidil

22 Oct 2008 Yes, Lipitor keeps my cholestoral in check and my muscle pain at minimum but I cannot handle the extra weigt gain (25 lbs) and I cannot seem to feel energetic even though I sleep all night...many hours.

06 Oct 2008 Two things I noticed that in my mind were directly linked to the medication: My breast cysts began to shrink so fast I could feel them doing so, and I had excruciating leg pain, especially upon going to bed at night. I had to stop taking it. Leg pains went away.
