I got really stupid on lipitor & had extra sore muscles too.

The timing of starting it was bad - I had work injury flaring up too.
but dr wanted to do a general checkup and saw the 245 # so rx the lip.

thinking back I wonder if the lipitor brought on more of the muscle pain making my work injury worse?

other possible related things I noticed - might have been work injury or a combo of injury/lipitor
close up vision = reading mainly - blurry
some vertigo/dizziness
foggy brained - like ALZ/ADD

never really sorted it all out as I finally got good PT and quit the lipitor at about the same time.
Started feeling much better what ever the reason.

family members on both sides have high - maternal grandmom was @350
and had no heart problems at all - but did have Alz. passed @ 96

Think it over -
the pharmacist did tell me it is something you can go off of without any consequences other than the chol # will go back up.
no withdrawal - mrsD can probably clarify if I misunderstood that pharmacist.
