I recently went on generic Lipitor as well. I spoke to my internist about it last week.
The Doc mentioned that for a shortwhile the generic is the same as the original as they are produced by the same drug company. That's something to check out. I've been on Lipitor 12 years and have not had any muscle weakness. Haven't rec'd my cholesteral count yet...
