It was while he was taking Lipitor that my husband developed his tremor. I am convinced that it was the Lipitor that brought on the Parkinson's, although this defies rational thinking. He stopped immediately. I think that medication is poisin. I was uneasy about his taking it in the first place, since his cholesterol wasn't that high. He is now taking another one of those statins and his hair is falling out. Sigh...

Subject: LIPITOR...........

Is anyone currently or has anyone in the past taken the cholesterol reducing drug LIPITOR?

And have you had any problems with something called Peripheral Neuropathy?

I have been taking the drug fo about 7 months and for the last 3 months have experienced

what I refer to as LEAD LEGS.

I could not tell whether these came from PD or from PN, so I am stopping LIPITOR for now.

Thank you,
