[QUOTE="caliban, post: 707337, member: 140971"] I was prescribed 90mg of Lipitor after an acute cardiac event. I then started to get severe back pain and was unable to walk for more than a few hundred yards or stand for any length of time. I did'nt associate this with the drug until I was in hospital and met a guy who had the same problem and had done some research and had stopped taking it. Within 2 months his pain started to subside and was at that time pain free. I stopped taking it and am now pain free and can walk 6 miles without any problem. I also suffered cramps at night and nightmares which can be other side effects. I control my cholesterol through a low carb diet. All the patient studies are done by the drug companies and are confidential. They are making billions out of this mass prescription. My Doctor still tries to force me into taking these drugs but I'd sooner have a shorter life without pain, it's all about quality of life not quantity, for me anyway. [/QUOTE]
