I had been on Lipitor for years, cholesterol was borderline... I never felt fatigue or bloating that I could attribute solely to Lipitor... My paunch and bloating were a result of a ****ty lifestyle, bad diet to much alcohol etc...

This past January I had an epiphany... joined a gym, changed my diet, curtailed intake of alcohol to a few drinks on weekends if any... I've lost 12 pounds, my blood pressure is under control, cholesterol is still borderline... Dr wants me back on Lipitor, but I am self medicating and will wait a few months and see with my new diet and lifestyle, if my cholesterol goes down...
