I am on my 3rd week of lipitor. I have experienced muscle cramps, esp in calves, and hamstrings. The hamstrings feel tight all the time. I contacted my dr. He said to give it few more days. He wants me to draw blood next week. Well, I think I am going to stop the meds tonight. I am tired of the pain. Funny how we feel great with our elevated cholesterol, then feel like crap on the meds! Leave us alone! I don't know what the next step will be, but hey, who cares? I may ask him to try Zetia. I tired of all this blood drawing. I think the drs see me as a way to pay for their lake house. You guys have a super day. Remeber life is Really Good!

pslam, had the same problems and convinced DR to let me try policosanol. too early to see what the results are.

hi wycon! Try what? Is it a herb or synthetic perscription? Let me know how it goes. blessings to all our cholesterol levels!

Try what? Is it a herb or perscription? Keep us posted.

You need some Coenzyme Q 10.
