Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Doc put me on 10 mg/day.
Some stomach discomfort initially, but I seemed to get over that after the first few weeks.
Some muscle aches and pains which I didn't have before now seem to come and go.
Wife says that I am a lot grouchier since I started taking it.
And just yesterday, was out doing the yard spring clean-up, and noticed extreme fatigue and shortness of breath.
Very worrisome.
I have stopped taking Lipitor, and will check back with my doctor asap.
I just recently had my 3 month cholesterol check-up, and the doctor was very pleased since my overall cholesterol count dropped to 3.7 from over 7.
I also take Atacand for high blood pressure - have been on that one for years.
He doesn't know yet about the fatigue and shortness of breath attacks, because that just happened. | Abdominal pain upper,Myalgia,Irritability,Asthenia,Dyspnoea,Fatigue |

I took Pravachol and Zocor before Lipitor - cardiologist increased dose of Lipitor to 40mg and 80mg.
The last 4 years of my life have been a physical and mental nightmare.
As soon as stopped Lipitor immediately felt much better but degenerative back disease (MD said was due to aging) is still severe but improving somewhat.
Statins destroyed my life, I am certain of. | Amnesia,Arthralgia,Insomnia,Fatigue,Somnolence,Back pain,Depression,Balance disorder,Intervertebral disc degeneration |

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Prescribed it for High Cholesterol (just under 6)
Within 2 weeks had sore feet (Faciitis) and continued to get worse.
Hands, fingers, wrists, lumbar and AC joints, dry mouth, hair falling out.
Dr diagnosed it as autoimmune polyarthritis and wanted me to start anti-inflammatories for the pain.
Took one and couldn't stand the side effects so stopped immediately.
After researching at night because I couldn't sleep, thought maybe the Lipitor might be the problem.
Stopped taking it immediately (3 days ago) and already I can move my feet and ankles.
Not hobbling around and can get out of bed without assistance.
Hands still sore but have some movement back in my fingers.
Hoping this will continue to improve given more time off the drug.
This drug is poisionous.
I haven't felt well since I started taking Lipitor.
The fatigue was as bad as the pain in my joints, if not worse.
Today is the first day I haven't needed to rest during the day and I am hoping this will improve as time passes.
What the hell is in this god forsaken drug?!. | Plantar fasciitis,Dry mouth,Alopecia,Pain in extremity,Fatigue,Arthralgia |
Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | I took this drug for 2 years before onset of joint pain (knees)and painfull welts on bottom of feet (had to use cane to walk).
Initially, my quack MD put me on anti-inflam. drugs.
Subsequently, I quit the drug and the MD.
All symptoms subsided completely.
However, I had a milder reaction to Zocor; dizziness with Pravachol; now on Zetia (mild joint pain).
I believe that Lipitor left me with permanent joint damage and would join any class-action lawsuit relating to this crumby drug Lipitor. | Arthralgia,Urticaria,Joint injury |
Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | When I began taking Lipitor I had what the doctors referred to as TIA's.
Loss of balance, loss of speech and after several months I began having seizure type symptoms.
I have been seeing a Neurologist since I was told I was having TIA's.
I have gone through a TEE and a brain catheter and everything came back normal.
The Neurologist told me to stop taking Liptor one week ago and I am starting to feel a little better.
I am still feeling extremely tired.
I am hoping this all passes. | Balance disorder,Speech disorder,Transient ischaemic attack |
Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | I was on 5mg - cut a 10mg pill in half.
After about 2 weeks taking it I woke up with leg cramps.
During the day if I squatted (e.g. in the garden) or tried to get on a ladder I got foot/leg cramps.
I mentioned it to my doctor who said it couldn't possibly be related to the Lipitor .
It kept getting worse and worse - legs began feeling very tired, couldn't go up stairs easily, had cramping events in my legs 3-4 times a day.
I took 5mg/day of Lipitor for a year but finally quit as my legs were hurting too much.
Most cramping stopped within a couple of days but there was a long tail - it has only been in the last two years that all cramping stopped (having been off since 2005).
It did help get my TC down to 180 from 220, and my HDL to 70-90 frum 30.
My legs are still very weak even now - but they don't cramp.
My physician said it was all in my head. | Muscle spasms,Muscle fatigue,Pain in extremity,Muscle spasms,Muscle fatigue |

I took this drug for 1.5 years.

Pain in the shoulders.
A tingling sensation in the back of my neck.

Lipitor did lower my cholesterol, and I had no side effects for 2.5 years.
Now my legs , shoulders, and hips ache.
The most acute pain is in the legs.
Stiffness is more prevalent in he morning.
Getting out of bed is painful.
The nurse practitioner did admit that these side effects can occur after 2 to 3 years.

Quit taking it and was back to normal in two months.
My doctor said it was arthritis or bursitus due to my age.
He still would rather I be a cripple and go back on Lipitor. | Arthralgia |

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Severe pain in my calf muscles in my legs started about 7 months after taking the drug.
My doctor kept me on it and insisted this was a common side effect.
I complained for several months and then he switched me to another drug (Crestor) and the problems persisted.
He then switched me to (Zochor).
Finally I informed my doctor the pain was too severe and I was stopping as I found I could not even walk in the morning!
The cramps persisted for months and then I tore a tendon in my ankle and months later my knee.
I have had surgery but to no avail.
I still have some form of pain daily.
Before Lipitor I was in excellent shape and exercised regularly with no issues at all.
I have never been the same.
By the way 10Mg of Lipitor lowered my cholesterol 100 points but it was not worth it.
This drug ruined my life!.
Stop taking at first sign of muscle pain!. | Pain,Gait disturbance,Muscle spasms |
Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | pain!!!!!

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | I am the advocate for my father who took this drug for 8 months before he passed from an aggressive form of brain cancer in 2005.
The patient data is reported for him by me.
Briefly, my research during my advocacy efforts during his illness indicated that this drug may have contributed to the onset of his particular form of brain cancer (glial cell related cancer).
That cancer was diagnosed 6 months after his initial Rx for Lipitor -- he died 2 months after his initial cancer diagnosis.
There were no warning signs, deterioration was very fast and debilitating -- he was a model totally healthy individual by conventional medical standards.
My father was vibrant and could work any teen into the ground for a 75 year old, had great cholesterol numbers, but he was a cardiac patient.
He and the cardiologist agreed to go to Lipitor to see if they could drive LDL below 100 (his lipid profile was very, very good by usual medical standards).
I will say that there was no way any doctor could have known this would happen (my research showed that Lipitor could contribute to this cancer with prior risk factors for it which would have to have been environmental exposure and from what I know of my father's work history experience), but it would help if conventional medicine would listen to patients and their families about experiences that we all are reporting in places such as this.
My father could not speak for himself as his form of brain cancer was so aggressive that he went from a totally normal guy walking with a cane from initial neurological damage at inital dx for brain cancer to bedridden, unable to speak, feed himself, do anything for himself in 10 days.
Don't know if this will really help anybody -- but just please be cautious with Rx medicines and advocate for yourself; you may not know everthing, but you do know best about what you are experiencing with these Rxs.
keep doing your research, tell your doctor anything you find relevent about your life as it relates to Rxs you are given, and advocate hard for your quality of life. | Brain neoplasm malignant,Neoplasm malignant,Nervous system disorder,Bedridden |

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Was put on lipitor 3 months ago because of high cholesteral.
Took for a month and seemed to have problems with feet, etc but kept taking.
I had tests done after a month.
My doctor sent a letter and said to cut the dose in half for a month and have tests again.
After my second set of tests she called me and told me to go off completely.
She said she realized that my cholesteral would go back up, but CPK is of concern.
Was raised to mid 200's.
After a month I went in and of course my cholesteral was back up and my CPK level was elevated to over 500.
Now am having another blood test a week later.
Not sure what it will show but I feel horrible.
Tingly hands, terrible musche aches.
She told me no excercise until we determine what the problem is with CPK level.
My husband said my face looks puffy.
My eyes hurt all the time.
I look sickly.
This is horrible.
Never again!

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Swollen and stiff knees and elbows, mental distress, others that I am now only becoming aware of after reading many of these others testimonials.
After being on Lipitor for 2 years my knees and elbows were getting increasingly stiff and sore.
I'm a painter by trade and largely attributed it to over use of my joints.
Repetitive stress syndrome.
I went to my doctor, he sent me to an arthritis specialist, I had x-rays.
nothing was found.
I felt like an old (older) man during this period, I thought I was finished in terms of my trade and the things I enjoy most, like hiking.
My prescription of lipitor ran out a few months after these tests were done.
I didn't bother refilling it right away and noticed my knees and elbows felt better.
I renewed the prescription and no sooner had I started taking it again that I felt the stiff joints return.
So I stopped taking it, the stiffness goes away, started again, stiffness returns.
After telling my doctor this story, right away he says oh yeah, that's probably right Pardon!?
So why didn't you mention that possibility before all the tests?
(luckily since I live in Canada, these tests were all covered by our health care system) I didn't make the connection to lipitor earlier because stiff, swollen joints were not listed as one of the side effects.
Sore muscles yes, stiff swollen joints, no.
I can see the class action suits coming against Pfizer. | Joint swelling,Joint stiffness,Emotional distress,Joint stiffness,Arthralgia,Musculoskeletal stiffness |

I began having falls shortly after starting lipitor approx 5years ago.
Had an EEG at that time with no abnormalities.
Had another EEG 6months ago with Frontal Lobe abnormalities which I suspect is due to Lipitor.
Started on 20mg and progressed to 80mg. | Dizziness,Fall,Memory impairment,Motor dysfunction,Musculoskeletal stiffness,Pain in extremity |

Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Congestion, cough, elbows burning, right heel pain, loss of concentration.
I initially couldn't tell I was taking it.
About two years ago I started waking up with significant congestion with clear phlem.
Chest xray was clear.
My doctor suspected allergies.
Having 2 pets that seemed reasonable.
About a year ago my elbows would burn like fire at times when I rested my arms on a surface.
This would come and go.
I also began having trouble focusing while reading and would skip around.
Two months ago my right heel became painful for no reason.
The more I walked on it the worse it felt.
I switched shoes with no change.
It hurt enough that I began to worry I might end up on disability if it got much worse.
I was recently out of state for two weeks and still had congestion in spite of being in a totally different environment.
That was when I suspected the Lipitor and did some research on line and saw matches with all of my symptoms.
I immediately stopped it and the next morning the congestion was 80% less.
I saw my doctor who agreed I need to stop it.
He explained that there are a lot of side affects and there is no way to predict who will get which ones or when they will develop.
The blood tests give a false sense of security since the results (like mine) can be normal yet other serious issues can develop. | Respiratory tract congestion,Cough,Burning sensation,Pain in extremity,Disturbance in attention,Accommodation disorder |

Thanks to all you guys for a heads-up on what can happen with this drug as it is nice not to be blindsided by the medical community.
Thanks again to everybody who posts here!!. | Myalgia |
Map Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) mentioned in the text to their corresponding MedDra terms, listing them as a comma-separated string. If no ADE is found, return "No ADEs". | Initially there were no side effects.
It took the better part of two years for them to start appearing.
During that time, my numbers were doing great!
But then, very gradually, things began to change.
Fatigue was the first symptom for me.
It hit hard!
I was retireing at 9PM when it used to be 11:30.
Then the muscle and joint pain kicked in.
I felt much older than I was.
My family noticed the short term memory loss before I did.
It was very embarrasing for me.
The blisterey rash on my arms and legs had me concerned even more.
What was wrong with me?
Is this what old age(62) should normally bring?
When my vision became blurry, I started my search.
That was in June of 2007.
By August 07, I was off Lipitor for good.
My cardiologist tried various substitutes without luck until we got to Simivastatin which seemed to work without the side effects. | Fatigue,Myalgia,Arthralgia,Memory impairment,Dermatitis bullous,Vision blurred |

I went from being a normal, active 46 year old male doing my job and normal activities of life until taking Lipitor.
I took 20mg. for approximately 1 year, then started noticing the muscle problems so I discontinued it.
That was about a year ago and I am still having severe pain and weakness in my muscles, especially the legs.
I can barely make it up one flight of stairs to get to my office at work.
Have no social activities now, can't even stand to fish anymore.
I regret the day I ever took a statin drug and will warn everyone I talk to about the devastating effects of these drugs. | Pain in extremity,Asthenia,Muscle spasms,Facial spasm,Myopathy,Pain,Muscular weakness, |

I was a fit, strong and very active person 5 years ago.

In the meantime I was off the drug for a few weeks and saw improvement of those areas.
Now I have been back on for another 6 months and the left shoulder is terribly painful.
I have stopped the med for a week and hope to see improvement soon.

Then the doctor in charge left us floundering on our own, going from one specialist after another to counter what was happening.
My children did some research on the web about my drugs that I was taking, which included Voltaren,and learned about the adverse reactions to this drug and I stopped Voltaren.
The specialists agreed with this conclusion, since they were exact to my problems.
My body reacted and I recovered gradually.
My advice to all - STOP - Find something else.
I lost 2 months of my life and I still don't remember the entire e.
If you are taking this drug - Make absolutely sure that you get blood work done every 6 months, in order to catch any critical levels in your blood.

Not completely convinced it was the RX but I have no other reason for the reaction.

Not convinced it was the issue, I went a day without the RX and then started again.
I wasn't entirely 100% after taking the dose and now, I am fairly certain it was the Voltaren.
