I took Lipitor for over 6 years and in the last 2 years .....
The Dr took me off Lipitor and put me on Vytorin...190 was too high for him. Blood pressure 110/70, age 50 and should reduce the weight of my car by 30 to 40 lbs with me in it.

Oy! It's called maturity (when I'm being nice).
Why don't you guys bring up the complaints about memory and vision loss while you're at it?
Muscle inflamation is a known complication of therapy and is incredibly rare. Many more ascribe their vague aches and pains (associated with no longer being 20y/o) to the drugs.
BTW Lipitor use was shown to be associated with a reduction in the development of Alzheimers and cataracts. And Vytorin contains a different statin + ezetimibe
