Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Rian, Just Google " lipitor+adverse+effects " and you will find lots of information. http://www.cqs.com/lipitor.htm is just one, and it happened to offer alternative therapies for Chronic Illness and Health Maintenance. I've seen nothing but bad reviews in the alternative med. lists I'm on and I'd get off the Lipitor asap (IF IT WERE ME). You need to do what you think is best for you. I'd recommend reading all the stuff under the heading that I posted for Google, as it will give you a heads-up on what that type of medicine is doing to you. Again, just my opinion, marian " Unanswered questions are not as dangerous as Unquestioned answers.
