Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, Lisinopril,
Metoprolol, Isosorbide, Ranolazine.
About 3 or so years ago, my then family doctor changed my cholesterol medication from Pravastatin to Atorvastatin. Within a week, my urine turned orange, and I began having joint pain, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, and a bad headache. It was also screwing up my glucose levels. I went for blood work and everything my doctor had tested was drastically out of whack. I stopped taking it on my own, but still ended up in the ER because I woke up with the shakes, and my heart felt like it was racing. I told the ER doctor I suspected it was the Atorvastatin, and told her about the other symptoms I had. After tests, she told me to stop taking it. I told her I had stopped it about a week before, and she said: "Good!!" It took me at least 6 weeks to get back to feeling normal again. That med is listed as an allergy in my medical records. I know some people that take it, and have had no side effects whatsoever.
I take Lisinopril at night before bed, as well as Clonidine. I've been on Metoprolol ER for many years, as well as Diltiazem. These meds consistently keep my blood pressure normal, especially my diastolic pressure.
Just started Atorvastatin. Made it 79 years without that junk. When weather clears, I’m going to walk fast, then run a lot to get those arteries cleared out and perhaps toss the drug in the garbage where it belongs.
Stay healthy, my FRiend.
