lipitor
) atorvastatin.

STRESSED ABOUT HIGH CHOLESTEROL
Simvastatin did not bring my levels down at all so was put on
Lipitor
20mg but when my levels were still not coming down significantly it was combined with Ezetimibe 10mg. My levels came down from around 9.2 to 5.7 then 5.2.

Statins and Insomnia. Would the time of the day when the pills are taken affect this?
Both of us suffer with insomnia but my mother's is even worse since switching from
Lipitor
to generic. We are wondering if insomnia is inevitable, whether it is the condition or the medication which causes it, and whether taking the pill earlier in the day would alleviate it?

Possible side effects since moving on to generic atorvastatin - continue or stop taking meds?
He was adamant that
Lipitor
and its gereric equivalent are, and I quote "absolutely identical, it's just the packaging that's different". I asked if I could go back onto
Lipitor
, and he basically said no.

My Cholesterol Experience
I decided to go off my own back to my local gp for a blood test in 2004 age 30 and the results were 10.5 I workout everyday, weights and cardio, I rarely drink and don't smoke, so i thought this will be easily addressed, dieted and got it to 8.4, as a result I was placed on
Lipitor
40 mg.

Being treated for FH but no marker gene found when tested and have stopped statins
I took myself off
Lipitor
40mg last July after developing muscle and joint pains. Plucked up the courage to tell doc a few months ago who was not happy and so I went back on them again only to start getting the fatigue and pains again 2 weeks later.
