My doctor gave me Vytorin until I developed muscle and skeletal pain. She then switched me to Lipitor last January. I recently informed her that I have now developed the same side effects. I have my annual physical in four weeks. I am anxious to see what she shifts to.

Pros

Worked fine for six months. Then painful side effects started. I got the same story with Vytorin.

This medication was working wonderfully for me. The I began to experience terrific back pains and was told that was one of the side effects. Once I was taken off this medication, back pains went away.

I had severe muscular/skeletal pains,
difficulty walking and confusion. Also
had some memory problems. No longer take any type of statins as the side-effects are too severe.

Pros

It did lower my cholesterol,(I now take
supplements which contain no statins &
my cholesterol is fine)

Cons

The side effects were horrendous.

I was on it for about 6 months. It lowered my cholesterol slightly. It caused irreversible Liver damage. My doctor switched me to VYTORIN. I now have perfect readings.

Pros

It worked slightly.

Cons

It caused irreversible liver damage only detectable through a blood test.
