Lipitor FeedbackIf you use Lipitor, please help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell someone who was considering using Lipitor? Please remember that we do not give medical advice. That is for your local health care provider, who is familiar with your medical history.Subj: Lipitor nightmare Date: 9/13/2009 Taking lipitor for me is a nightmare! My own family doctor said to take 10 mg but the (young) cardiologist boosted it up to 40 mg! I have profuse sweating occurring randomly many times of the day or night. I can feel the sweat break out in my head and actually see the sweat beads roll down my body! I also have insomnia, can only sleep maybe 2 or 3 hours max a night, and to top it off I have decreased urination. I feel my bladder is not empty but I cannot urinate anymore. As well as lower left back ache . . . I want to get off this med now. It is making me sicker than I ever was before not worth it. I would rather restrict cholestoral intake in a natural way. At least try that first than going to this extreme madness of taking lipitor. Please try natural remedies before doing this. Amrune Subj: Severe rash under arms Date: 9/16/2009 I have been taking 20 mg of Lipitor for several years and have never had any side effects. I recently developed a severe rash under my arms, and thought it was caused by either my deodorant or the Dove body wash that I use. I switched both to natural products, and with prednisone, the rash disappeared. It's been 2 months since it first appeared, and is now back --- I wonder if it could be the Lipitor that is causing it, any thoughts? Julie AskDocWeb: A rash is listed as one of the possible side effects that should be reported to your doctor so please get it checked out. Subj: Leg and feet pain Date: 10/4/2009 I started taking Lipitor in middle of May. June 1st, I tore my right calf muscle sprinting in the backyard with the kids. Figured a sign of getting old, not stretching, etc. Leg got better, then in middle of August tore left calf muscle walking up a slight incline on golf course. Leg and feet pain have been really bad. Horrible fatigue as well - couldn't stand to watch son's soccer or hockey games more than 10 minutes. Put it together 6 weeks ago that maybe Lipitor was responsible and stopped taking. Pretty upset that I had to bring to Dr's attention and it didn't dawn on him that maybe it was Lipitor. Legs better, but still sore and tender. How do I know that Lipitor is the cause? Was also on blood thinner as I developed a blood clot from the first tear. One heck of a summer!!! Todd Subj: Red spots Date: 10/10/2009 I have been taken Lipitor 20mg for about 4 months. After about two months I noticed some red spots on my right arm after a while (a week or so) they started to itch. I have been treating the itch with a topical (Clobex) which stops the itching but the redness has not gone away. My doctor put me on Prednisone for 7 days. Could Lipitor be causing my problem? My Doctor doesn't think so. David AskDocWeb: There are no reports of Lipitor causing red spots. Have you checked with a dermatologist?
