Lipitor is a commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of high cholesterol. However, like all medications, it carries potential risks and side effects. According to Drug Patent Watch [1], the most common side effects of Lipitor include muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness, as well as liver problems. In rare cases, Lipitor use can also lead to rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition that can cause kidney damage or failure.

Antidepressants are another commonly prescribed medication, used to treat a variety of mental health conditions. However, like Lipitor, they also carry potential risks and side effects. A study published in the journal Current Psychiatry Reports [3] found that the most common side effects of antidepressants include sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and gastrointestinal problems. Additionally, some studies have suggested that long-term use of antidepressants may increase the risk of developing certain health conditions, such as diabetes and osteoporosis [2].

It is important to note that the risks associated with Lipitor and antidepressant use can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the individual patient's medical history, age, and other medications they may be taking. As with any medication, it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.
