Did dizziness persist after stopping lipitor?



Lipitor is a brand name for atorvastatin, a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood [1]. According to the Mayo Clinic, dizziness is a possible side effect of amlodipine and atorvastatin, the combination medication that includes Lipitor [2]. However, the sources do not provide information on whether dizziness persists after stopping Lipitor.

A CNN article reports on a study that found that statins, including Lipitor, have been linked to muscle pain and weakness, but the study did not mention dizziness as a side effect [3].

In conclusion, while dizziness is a possible side effect of amlodipine and atorvastatin, including Lipitor, the sources do not provide information on whether dizziness persists after stopping Lipitor. It is important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any side effects while taking Lipitor or any other medication.
