Cynthia - Lipitor is not a PD med, but rather for lowering overall cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and for raising that good cholesterol, HDL. I have taken chol.-lowering medication for over 10 years with no results. My chol. has remained hovering aroundd the 300 level. With Lipitor, it dropped more than 100 points in a month, and the other numbers improved too. For me, a wonder drug, although I care very little about my chol level (much more concerned with PD). But since my husband cares and worries, I work on it with diet and now this pill. Nancy Shlaes deGrazia Cynthia Shook wrote: > I know I have seen some of you discussing this > before.
