Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Lipitor will also reduce your HDL so you should try to get off it just as soon as possible. I also had high cholesterol but reduced it with taking supplements, using nothing but good organic extra virgin olive oil and limiting my dairy intake to a very small amount in a couple of hot drinks per day. No matter what the dr tells you, these statin are extremely bad for you and whilst you are happy with the results now, think about long term and will you still be happy in 10 years time when you have to double the dose because your body has got used to the dosage you have been taking and then the side effects will also double. Please think about what you are doing to your body before it is too late.
