That's odd if your numbers are great why take it. I heard once your on a statin you can't get off. I'm trying hard to get my numbers down to a normal level and I'm really close at my last test. I'm only taking 10mg of Lipitor, some of the possible side effects are muscle pain and muscle disease (statin induced myopathy), and possible serious liver problems which as Linda said... I don't really want to deal with later. It also made me kind of tired even at a low dose.
