Weight Loss After Taking Lipitor
(Newest replies first)

I have stopped taking Lipitor because of a few side effect problems (such as muscle pain). I have also been dieting to lose weight for the past year. Since I stopped the Lipitor my rate of weight loss has increased, from about 1 pound per week to 2-3 pounds per week. I am dieting by limiting calories and consuming low fat/high protein foods. Has anyone heard of this regading Lipitor?

I had lost 60 lbs. and stalled completely when my doc put me on lipitor -- had HORRID PAIN (could NOT exercise at all) for 6 mos.... ended up in the emergency... then went to my rhumatologist with my fibromyagia. He showed me that ALL the symptoms I had been complaining to my G.P. about ( sleeplessness, PAIN, itching, itching itching, memory problems, dizziness, even Lupus symptoms) could be side effects of the Lipitor. He took me OFF the Lipitor IMMEDIATELY !!! BEWARE
