I was on Lipitor when I was hit with TM. Of course, the Dr. did not believe the Lipitor had anythng to do with TM. I had no muscle problem whle taking it but went off it after TM just to see if it helped with any TM symptoms but it made no difference. My cholesterol went back up and after about 6 months went back on Lipitor.

FOR THOSE ON EXPENSIVE CRESTOR, MAY I SUGGEST YOU HAVE THE DOCTOR DOUBLE THE MG'S AND YOU CUT THEM IN HALF, IT IS MUCH CHEAPER THAT WAY. TOO BAD MY ZETIA AND ACEPHEX CANNOT BE DONE THAT WAY, THEY ARE EXPENSIVE, TOO - ESPECIALLY THE ACEPHEX.

The only thing new I did at that time was to take zocor for 8 weeks previous to this because my Dr had been after me for years about my high cholestorol. All the neuros I have seen laugh at this and say it has nothing to do with it. Now I am back on a low dose of Lipitor and am wondering whether I should stay on it. .What to do?????
