I took Lipitor 10mg for elevated cholesterol (so did my husband). After being on the drug for almost two years and having severe muscle aches and leg cramps we both decided to discontinue using this drug. We watched our fat intake and our cholesterol levels did come down to almost normal levels. What we both noticed almost immediately was that the muscle stuffness and the cramps stopped. During the night the calf "charlie horse" stopped and the severe aches subsided. I will never go on this medication again. I have tried the Simvistatin 10mg with minimal side effects and also with good results for my cholesterol. I have also added 1,000mg of fish oil per day to my diet and supplement in-take and this has also helped with the cholesterol levels with no bad side effects. My cholesterol increased level is due to heredity and not my overall diet...........and I will never take Lipitor again!
