   Lipitor side effects? (High Cholesterol board)

25th January 2007
Kelly, some folks like myself do have those side effects. After the second month on 10 mgs. of Lipitor, I had very bad GI problems, and yes, tons of gas as well as severe diarrhea. Dr. had to take me off of it, as he had me go to a GI dr. who found nothing wrong. After getting off of it things went back to normal, till they tried me on a couple of other statins, and developed the same effects, plus muscle aches and pains, especially on Baycol.

Try going off for a few days to a week and see if the problem goes away, that is what they did with me. If it is the Lipitor things should get better, if not, you may have something else going on, there is alot of stomach flu going around now as well.

Good luck.......:wave:
