I started a very small dose of lipitor about three weeks ago. I'm so fatigued and my anxiety is horrible. Anyone else take a statin?

DS,

Sorry to hear this.:(

My hubs takes one...but did not experience any s/e's when he started that I can remember.

Have you discussed this with your prescribing doctor yet?

It did me, I am 16 years past tripple bypass and doing well, in my younger days my cholesterol would run
as high as 270 i feel it was a major player in my desease, started atorvastatin while in the hospital and my
cholesterol has been around 150-100 ever since, i feel Blessed and i am thankful for the med. Peace
