[QUOTE="angieG, post: 460897, member: 30853"] I am supposed to be taking Atorvastatins but everytime I take them I get aching legs and arms, dull headaches and end up having vivid dreams every night (never usually dream at all). I am fed up with them so I'm going to refuse to take them anymore. My Mum had real bad problems with Simvastatin after about 3 or 4 years and ended up hardly being able to walk. Once she stopped them she began to improve straight away. Some folks get no problems but I have met more that do than don't unfortunately. I would say to anyone by all means try them but make sure you tell your Doctor if you have any side effects at all as serious muscle damage does not seem to be easily reversible afterwards. Just my opinion, take advice from your GP etc. Angie [/QUOTE]
