After beginning a Lipitor (atorvastatin) regimen, it typically takes 2-4 weeks to start noticing the full benefits of this medication [1]. However, it is important to note that Lipitor, like other statins, works to lower cholesterol levels in the long term, and its maximum effectiveness may not be experienced until several months of consistent use [2].

Individual responses to Lipitor may vary, and factors such as the severity of high cholesterol, the presence of other medical conditions, and the use of other medications can influence the time it takes for Lipitor's full benefits to become noticeable [1]. It is crucial to follow the dosage and usage instructions provided by a healthcare professional and to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to maximize the benefits of Lipitor [2].

It is also essential to monitor cholesterol levels regularly and consult a healthcare provider if there are any concerns about the medication's effectiveness or side effects [1].
