LIPITOR PATIENT COMMENT 1
It brought my husband's chol. down from 310 to 175. He had to stop taking it because it has damaged his liver. He has an ultra sound scheduled for this month. I DO NOT recommend this medication.

LIPITOR PATIENT COMMENT 2
My doctor never even suggested diet first!

LIPITOR PATIENT COMMENT 3
Liver count went to over 600. Stopped taking & liver count went back to normal. Then I had a series of tests for pains across my midsection.Have Fatty strands in my Liver. Now I have Rheumatoid Arthtitis.I think it could be the result of taking Lipitor. Do not take - Watch your diet

    • ..don't have lots of time but wonder how many out there would participate in a petition signing to send to MSNBC to tell them we are disgusted with direct to consumer drug advertising.
      Not only are the drugs killing people and the ads sickening but they are also making anything we hear on their health related issues biased towards big Pharm..we can not trust anything they say..it is worthless crap. I love Keith but the rest is garbage.
      That's why I choose them because they seem to have some clue of the right direction...with Countdown.

      This Direct to Consumer Drug Advertising is not allowed in other countries except New Zealand and they are also scraping the bottom of quality health care with the US health "care" system.

      Please let me know if anyone can pickup this ball and run with it..
      or if you are interested and I will try to make time..difficult..lotsa stuff to do... sorting 20 years of stuff and moving..family..etc..

      I will make a petition and have it on line if I see any interest..

      Thanks
      Carolyn

      Vierotchka you are right!
      I use many of those methods..I am also a Vegan..my chol was 300..not sure where it is now..
      It is also in my family but I have been reading research that sys this might be prevalent in people with my heritage. This is the gene they are associating with longevity ..so maybe I don't need to fight it after all..
      Who beleives these medical people who are only trained for a few hours in nutrition..I think I heard 4 or 5 TOTAL hours in med school.

    • these commercial are so freaky and annoying. im specially disturbed by the you have a problem if you cant sleep-ones. if the volume could be regulated by the fcc, these brain washing commercials should be banned. but thats my opinion, im sure some people are rather amused by them.
      - wow these comments/reviews are pretty intense for the link u provided, cholesterol runs in my family.
      thanks for sharing CGillis- .

    • This what happens when our bought-n-bossed elected representatives allow unregulated corporate inductries to write the legislation for product standards and practices.

      A list of dangerous side effects that's five times longer than a drug's intended benefits is obviously not ready to be marketed for consumption. This is a sophistocated form of premeditated mass murder.

      I am with you there.96thdayofrage
      I whole heartedly agree. I am not so sure I haven't watched that very thing with my own family.
      Thank goodness or our stars or the Lord or the magic melon we are benefiting from the clear vision of Al Gore and his group...so we at least have a chance of throwing these bloodthirsty fiends off of our jugulars..education is the only way..to keep getting this info out..
      I feel like I have ADD sometimes but we need to open people's eyes to this resource...I have told some of my friends and family but it is not always something they look at...everyone is busy with their lives and they have a deep trust in the powers that be.

    • Lipitor Statin Patient comment #5

      Kidney failure, difficulty swallowing, persistent pain in calf and knee, short term memory loss, peripheral neuropathy, constipation, sleep disturbance, mood change, rage I took 80mg of Lipitor for 8 years. My symptoms got so bad that I had to stop working. Recently I was diagnosed with kidney failure and also put on zetia. I immediately started to feel even worse, but took the drug for a year until my symptoms got to be unbearable. My doctor dismissed the leg pain and said that kidney failure was unrelated. Do not take statins! They will rob you of your mind and ruin your health. The medical community will try to convince you that you'll live longer and avoid heart attacks by taking this. Read the facts. I stopped all statins and am starting to see improvement in swallowing. Leg pain is gone. My memory is getting better. I'll never recover from the kidney failure, will need dialysis or transplant. Will explore alternative natural remedies.
