: Had my 6 mo. checkup after having a stent placed for 85% blockage. Thallium test was excellent. Have been on Pravachol and for last six weeks lipitor. Cholesterol 202 now 154 Triglycerides 294 now 144 HDL 34 now 38 LDL 109 now 87 LDL/HDl ratio 3.2 now 2.3. Lipitor has not always made me feel the best but seeing the numbers somehow makes it all worth it. I did low fat diet and moderate excercise along with the lipitor,

Were you on Pravochol first and why did they switch you to Lipitor, as 202 sounds like good numbers. My numbers were always about 212-218 and dr. had no concerns till it hit 266 in March. Lipitor brought it down to 168 but was brutal on my stomach. After taking me off Lipitor for 7 weeks, numbers went to 272 so they put me on the Baycol. Hope I'm not being nosy, I'm just confused why they switched you. Thanx in advance, and good luck again. JJ
