Yes, it worked great for me also. But you still need to change your diet. That was the hard part for me.

I thought Lipitor was a villain from He-Man, Master of the Universe.

I've been taking it for about 3 months. Lowered my cholesterol from 240-260 to 156. The doc is extremely happy. My HDL/LDL ratio is improved, but not as much as we had hoped so I have to work on that as well. Not quite sure what to do about it.
The doc says it’s good stuff, but like all medications in that class of drugs, if you find yourself having muscle aches and fatigue, you need to see the doc ASAP. In rare cases it causes rhabdomyolysis, which can be fatal. Search for information on Baycol for more information. |

My wifes doc prescribed it for her and after two months called her and said not to take it any more. She had not had another cholesterol test yet. Evidently he got some kind of warning about it. Just hought I would mention this FYI.

Iwas taking it for awhile until I found out it was causing muscle ache. My doctor told me it couldn't be the medication.When I ran into someone at the gym who had the same complaint and his doctor told it was I confrounted my doctor again and he said he was hearing the same thing now.He has me on Pravacol now. Less muscle aches with this.

Was on Baycol then the news reports of problems hit the airwaves so I stopped. Now I hear that all "statins" can cause similar problems. Destruction of muscle tissue. Have an appointment to see my DR. and find out what the #%*# is going on! [puke]
