Listen very carefully to Chuck's advice.
On my doctor's advice, I was on Lipitor (and another one before that, but
can't remember the name) for a total of about 5 years. About three years ago
I went off it totally, at my own decision, and against the doctor's advice.
I really believe I'd be in severe health problems now had I stayed on it. I
still have ongoing muscle problems, though not nearly as severe as when I
was on that stuff. I will never go back on any of it again.
