Lipitor is the ONLY drug that controls my cholesterol.
I have tried generics and they are not effective. If I don’t take it my Ch. goes over 600. (Not exagerating) So it’s been nice knowing you all.
I can’t take any of the statins. They all mess me up one way or the other. Lipitor put me in the emergency room. Sad thing about that was that the people in ER said it wasn’t the Lipitor, but when I saw my doc for the follow up, he told me to stop taking the Lipitor as all the things that sent me to the ER were side effects of the Lipitor. I told him I had already stopped taking it on my own. I can read and knew darn well it was behind the ER visit even if ER was too stupid to recognize it.
My mom couldn’t take it either. Messed up her liver, for me it was my kidneys.
Well, it is a good drug (I imagine you’re on a pretty good dose also). After November (barring any legal hijinks by Pfizer) it will be significantly cheaper for you. And BTW, surprised Crestor didn’t get it done for you...
