How long before muscle aches and weakness subside after discontinuing Lipitor

REPLY

REPORT

I have been on 20mg of Lipitor for about 15 years. I have a foggy brain, muscle pain and muscle wasting I am 66 years old. I have now stopped the drug completely two days ago. Is this a safe thing to do and what withdrawl symptoms should I expect. I haven't told my GP who doesn't seem interested in my symptoms.

From what I was able to gather patients experience symtoms for weeks after discontinuing Lipitor. It is also suggested that if symtoms persist, or get worse, you should notify your MD.
