What's the suggested delay for higher lipitor dose?

Usually, you should wait at least 4 weeks between increasing atorvastatin (Lipitor) doses. If tolerated and you haven’t reached your LDL goal, the dose can be titrated every 4 weeks (for example: 10 mg → 20 mg; 20 mg → 40 mg; 40 mg → 80 mg).

Lipids are typically reassessed about 4–8 weeks after a dose change to see how well the target is being met. Liver enzymes and any muscle symptoms are also monitored as indicated.

Always have dose changes guided by your clinician. If you were asking for your specific situation, I can help with more detail—just share any relevant health info you’re comfortable with.
