Hello, Lass! How are you? I'm so sorry about the problem that you're having.

Are you certain that the diarrhea was caused by the Lipitor? Did you doctor do any tests or checking?

After 2 weeks, it would be unusual for it to still be causing the diarrhea, but everyone is different, so it is a possibility.

Are you on any other medications? Have you experienced any other withdrawal effects, such as headache or chills, that the FDA lists?
