Lawsuits filed over Lipitor side effects

If you Google "Wonder drug that stole my memory" you will probably find an article in the English newspaper Daily Telegraph.

It`s written by Christopher Hudson in April 2009 and it`s about his statin experience.

Good Lord, i wondered why i was forgetting so much. I wonder if it is the Lipitor? i will have to google that.. thank you

That is the problem with most meds. a lot of side effects, that may be worse than the symptom that is being treated.
It seems like every time one goes to the Doctor another problem is found and a new medication is added.
Is it really worth the risk?? then when you start a new med it is not so easy to drop a drug.
I would suggest we take a bit of control of what medicines we allow our Doctors to prescribe.
I have a Doctor that gives a new med. almost every time i go!! I just turned 29 and i am on several different medications that are prescribed.

check out dr. graveline's web site:

spacedoc.net

In his last newsletter he states that statin drugs are causing early onset of old age symptoms.

FLUSH! THE POISIONS!!

I am 5'7", weigh 130 lbs., exercise, and do not overeat. Did I mention that I also have high cholesterol? Your theory is flawed.

Lipitor (statin drugs) also cause confusion in thinking. It removes needed cholesterol in the brain and then is written off as Alzheimer's disease.

i have seen a pt whoes liver enzymes considerably elevate after starting lipitor.once we stopped that,it came down to normal!

[peter googinheimer]

taking even smallest dose of lipitor feels like im having heart attack

[Muggs]

The Dr. gave me 80mg of Lipitor to take.Boy what a dose! My Cholestrol was 162 HDLwas 43 LDL89
Triglycerides 148.Iam 70 years old weight 117
do not smoke or drink and walk some everyday. I
was on 40mg and the carodologist upped the dose.
Does any one out there take 80mg. I talked her into maybe 60mg a day because of leg cramps,so
I am trying that. She wants everything lower.
Does not want me to eat my Hardees biscuit every day and that has gone bad with me because I have to watch other people eat them and I sometimes
eat nothing for breakfast.

I was on the drug for over 7 yearss.. and I must say how I would complain to my doctor about the
body pains and aching I had. he didnt have a clue.. at times a would not be able to stand
becuase the Joint pain was so bad and seem tp last for every .. I went another doctor who order
blood test for 6 weeks every 7 days.. the he discoverd that I have muscle damage ... So yes
I'm concerned with the the issues and problems I
must likelt will have in the future. I don't
take this medication any more.. and I feel alot
better ...

GIVE ME A BREAK! Two bad apples spoil the barrel. How about all the lives that been improved and saved do to lipitor. For the good of the majority. This kind of nonsense is why medications cost so much. Can not blame it on the pharmaceutical companies. Can only blame it on bloodsucking lowlife lawyers and the animals that hire them.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've had medications give me side effects that weren't listed as "known" side effects (the key word there is "Known") and you just have to have enough sense to think "Gee, maybe it's the medication". So you quit taking it for a few days and BLAMMO. There ya go. Tell your doctor and have him try something else. So many of you seem to think it's the 'greed' of Pfizer that causes this....but I say "hey, maybe they just didn't know". I think it's assumed they covered it up for greed. Unfortunately, they'll probably discontinue it, and someone (like my father who takes it) will DIE because of all the sue happy crybabies. My point is: You "whine" about the side effects, but don't even consider that without it, a lot of you might be DEAD, and unable to sue, or complain here on this very post.

And we wonder why prescriptions cost so much. What a shame. I personally think it's a bunch of shady lawyers that take advantage of a few people who had bad side effects that appeals to GREED of people who are sue happy. Have you noticed the number of lawyer ads on TV these days...many for class action suits? There's this guy named John Edwards who made a fortune from frivilous lawsuits. Does that name sound familiar? It should, he's a known $cumb@g.
