Lipitor almost killed me in 5 days. My doctor put me on Lipitor on Thursday. I began aching all over on Friday night. I could barely get around on Saturday. All I wanted to do was stay in bed. I began going into a depressed state. My glucose level soared. By Sunday I was hurting so badly and so depressed I was sobbing uncontrollably and had horrible unmentionable thoughts. I am not the type person that gets depressed ever! At work on Monday, I would tear up anytime someone spoke to me. I had enough! I looked on the internet to see the side effects. All the symptoms were there--aching, glucose change, and in mouse print, oh-by-the-way style, was depression. After stopping the Lipitor on Monday, by Wednesday I was back to normal. EVERYONE should know that Lipitor can cause very bad depression.
