lipitor side effects - High Cholesterol Message Board

I took Lipitor for 2 days and experienced severe side effects. Including vomitting, diarrhea, and unbearable abdominal pain. I immediately stopped taking the pills after these 2 dosages, but I am still experiencing a loss of appetite 3 days later. Anyone else have this problem after taking such a small dose? No one believes it is connected. My body hasn't been the same since I took that first pill!

Hi Christina

I didn't get into the severe problems that you have had, but after 2 years of taking Lipitor(10 mg per day), I developed muscle aches. I have stopped taking it too. Get away from the statins. Take a look at Red Rice Yeast or Guggul. Good luck!

I was on the lipitor for 3 days and starting to
have strange dreams where I would wake up and
not know where I was at. Also wake up and feel that
I was floating above the bed, strong stuff. I didn't
want to keep this up. Got off the stuff and had withdrawls for a few days.
