Best thing to do is discuss it with your MD. When mom went off, she just

stopped taking it.

Hi

My husband was just taken off of lipitor because of the muscle weakness side

effect. He went to the doc and he gave him a new Rx Crestor to try and now

he has to have more blood work to determine if the levels are still high I

think they are called KA??) Anyway the best way is to talk to your doctor

first.

Thank you very much Chelle. I really appreciate it.

I had read somewhere that just simply going off is a shock to the heart.

Alaska eh? Is it like they show in the movies? Is it hard to get care

there?

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

As with any med, you need to check the info on stopping. Some

things you can simply just stop taking. Others, you need to taper

off gradually to avoid withdrawal reactions, some of which can be

quite serious. I don't have my PDR with me in the RV or I would

check it for you.

The other thing is, why are you on Lipitor in the first place? If

you are on it for high cholesterol, there are other meds on the

market that are as effective in reducing cholesterol with no where

near the adverse side effects.

Personally, I utterly detest and loath Lipitor for what I KNOW it

did to my wifes eye, in spite of the lieing sack of shit denials by

her doctors. Do we detect a note of bitterness and animosity in my

tone here?
