I have been losing my memory real bad and didn't understand why. I tried to get my doctor to change the medicine but he wouldn't.

The statins of which Lipitor is part can cause clinical dementia. Stop the Lipitor you stop the dementia. Try using Red Yeast Rice or 1/4 cup of ground flax seed per day. The flax seed has natural lipitor to reduce cholesterol...as with any statin be sure to include CoEnzyme Q10 in your diet.

Once you get on statins like Lipitor, you're supposed to stay on them for life. For an article on the latest negative findings for statins, go to http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-17695-Tampa-Health-Care-Examiner~y2009m11d8-Statins-can-damage-your-liver-and-kidneys-what-to-do-instead.

It's always dicey getting off medications. They're powerful substances. Find a health care practitioner who will listen to you and who has expertise helping you get off Lipitor.

Good luck.

It may be poor intake or lack of B12 in the food that you consume. Lack of B12 creates confusions and poor decision making.
