I've taken Lipitor for about a year. I eat well, but my mom has very high cholesterol and I do, too. Lipitor was great--slashed LDL and Total HC without disturbing high level of HDL (good) cholesterol. So far so good, no side effects.
Worked but this and other statins cause major muscle pain and fatigue I can't take them.
