Any and all drugs can have side effects and it can effect each person differently or not at all. I know someone with a similar story that was related to back pain/muscle weakness while they were taking lipitor. In this case however the Dr, knowing the potential side effects, took them off Lipitor for 3 months but there was no discerable difference..... so back on Lipitor for the alternative drug was not working as good to keep the colestrol low.
Taking any drug is trial and error and you were forunate enough to identify the culprit to a problem. However from what I read Lipitor is a major life saving drug.....but, the cautions on every drug bottle are there for a reason ...read them.
