How s your energy level since starting lipitor?



Based on the information provided, there is no direct evidence or statement about a specific individual's energy level since starting Lipitor. However, I can provide some context based on the general information available about Lipitor and its potential side effects.

Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels [1]. It belongs to a class of drugs known as statins, which work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [2].

Fatigue or weakness is listed as a possible side effect of Lipitor and other statins [3]. According to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, about 10% of patients report muscle-related symptoms when taking statins [4]. However, it's important to note that this study did not find a direct link between statins and fatigue, and the exact cause of these symptoms is not well understood.

In conclusion, while some people may experience fatigue or changes in energy levels after starting Lipitor, this is not a universal experience. If you are taking Lipitor and have concerns about your energy levels, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider.
