I strongly urge you, if he is one one of them to go here and just start reading. Pick any... they all do the same thing... http://www.spacedoc.net/board/index....9c75793f4a09cc

I am STILL suffering from the physical side effect of the drug that I thought was good for me and I have been off of it for almost a year (quit it July 2006) and it is still doing damage to my body.

I read a story about a man (I am not sure if it was on this sight or somewhere else) that a wife posted. Her husband, a normally wonderful, sweet man had turned into a monster.. I wish I had saved that story, it was a real scarey story.

One comment from this web sight I gave you the link for, "My partner suffered confusion, depression, etc on statins (he took Lipitor for EIGHT YEARS......... plus mood swings, heinous temper outbursts , v. short fuse, sexual difficulties......".... This is not that uncommon...
I know the topic is blood pressure, but I must interject here. Please don't paint all statins with a negative brush. Yes, there are side effects - there are side effects with every drug ever discovered. Not everyone will experience the same troubles. The site you link to here appears to be only for complaints about lipitor.

I have been taking it for almost 10 years - with ABSOLUTELY NO side effects.

Don't dismiss any drug out of hand. Listen to your doctor; talk to friends and/or relatives who might be taking the same med; read. Then make an educated decision for yourself.
