Lawsuits Filed Over Lipitor Side Effects

Readers' Comments

My health has gone downhill for being on Lipitor for 3 years. By the time I saw a Hepatologist my liver was damaged. He tested me for Hepatitis A,B,&C, which showed NEGATIVE, but my liver was enlarged.
Biopsy showed...Abnormal Liver in transition to Cirrhosis - Stage 3.
Blood profile...High Liver, Hemoglobin 8.70 (Excellent) NON-DIABETIC LEVEL.
I am seeing so many doctors because of all the problems I now have. My liver is cirrhosis, nerve damage, neuropathy, muscle damage, diabetes, erectile dysfunction. My fear is that I am going to be in a wheelchair because I am having problems walking.

My father was diagnosed with ALS in May of 2006. He had been presenting many problems associated with ALS, but it was misdiagnosed as congestive heart failure related problems. His symptoms were... increasing lack of feeling in legs, totally loss of feeling in right arm and hand.... and many other health problems. when he suddenly lost all feeling in his right arm and hand... and started shuffling instead of walking, my sister got him into the doctor ... fearing a stroke. For some reason, the doctor immediately took him off Lipitor. He was diagnosed with ALS about 2 to 3 months later. He died approx. 4 months after being diagnosed with ALS. Needless to say, our family was devasted to see this proud man die of such a horrible disease... it robbed him of all his dignity... and more....We have suffered... I still cry daily and it has been 15 months since his death. We cared for him lovingly in his home until the day he died. After reading numerous articles on Lipitor and Statin Drugs online.... I am convinced that this drug... killed my dad. I would like to be added to the class action law suit, for all the suffering and pain my family went through, but the above application for the law suit seems to be only for those who are currently suffering from these drugs. Will you represent families of deceased, or do you know of another lawyer who will? Thank you, Becky

My father has been on Lipitor for the past 2 yrs. now. He has been sleeping all the time, very depressed all the time where he even makes comments about sucidal thoughts, and he is very irritable. Could this possibly be from the Lipitor and if so what actions should we take?

I had been on Lipitor for several years. I had severe muscle pain throughout that time. My family Doctor == We both know better now!! ==thought it was tendonitous. I have been off of it for a year and still getting the pain. Two months ago I found out I have Lymphoma I really think there is a connection. with the Lipitor. Anyone else having somthing similar going on?

My father was diagnosed with ALS in May of 2006. He had been presenting many problems associated with ALS, but it was misdiagnosed as congestive heart failure related problems. His symptoms were... increasing lack of feeling in legs, totally loss of feeling in right arm and hand.... and many other health problems. when he suddenly lost all feeling in his right arm and hand... and started shuffling instead of walking, my sister got him into the doctor ... fearing a stroke. For some reason, the doctor immediately took him off Lipitor. He was diagnosed with ALS about 2 to 3 months later. He died approx. 4 months after being diagnosed with ALS. Needless to say, our family was devasted to see this proud man die of such a horrible disease... it robbed him of all his dignity... and more....We have suffered... I still cry daily and it has been 15 months since his death. We cared for him lovingly in his home until the day he died. After reading numerous articles on Lipitor and Statin Drugs online.... I am convinced that this drug... killed my dad. I would like to be added to the class action law suit, for all the suffering and pain my family went through, but the above application for the law suit seems to be only for those who are currently suffering from these drugs. Will you represent families of deceased, or do you know of another lawyer who will? Thank you, Becky

I still have not heard from anyone about this... I am still interested in getting involved in the class action suit... even if I just interview people to find out if they are having side effects.... I feel a need to be involved after what happened to my father... I have my spam setting at high, so please respond with ALS... Class action suit.. and I might be able to pick it up... Also, why is my response in here so many times? Thanks, Becky

I also have taken Lipitor and ended up with Lymphoma, has anyone else had a similiar occurance?

I was on lipitor for 8 yrs.
In the very beginning of my treatment,I developed serious muscle pain.I reported this to my doctor at the time,who said nothing about this pain being caused by lipitor.Instead,I was diagnosed as having post surgey pain, due to a recent bypass surgery.and told, I had this to live with as there was no known cure.Over the next 8 yrs., I was turned into a narcotics addict and ,still, the pain would break thro this.100mg ms contin and 60 mg of tylenol 3.In all of those 8 yrs.,my doctor never mentioned the lipitor.I moved to Princton BC where I located a new doctor who became more concerned about the high dosage of narcotics than he was about my pain issue.Anyway! Over the next 5 yrs. I have seen 5 different drs. and not one of them, even after all other likely causes have been ruled out,will accuse lipitor as being the culprit.
I have lived thro pain so bad that I honestly felt like suicide as the answer. My 2yr. old granddaughter kept me from doing that, thank God! Drs.didn't want to hear what I was telling them. I finally wound up getting off my morphine, the only thing that was, intermitently, helping me, just to prove to my dr. that I wasn't a drug lover or abuser.It worked but now I cant get the meds. back and am having to beg my doctor for pain meds.still, he refuses to up my dosages.1 doctor told me ,Oh its just the getting older thing. Another dr. simply said, It can"t be the lipitor cause I am on it. Idiot.Two others have said that there is a possibility and 1 of them said, Oh, you could be right when I brought up the lipitor.
13yrs of hell, pain, burning sensations, numbness, Disoreintation, horrible weakess, fatigue and nervous jitters.
What does one have to do to get drs. to listen
4 yrs. ago I got suspicious of my drugs and went on line. I could not believe the horror stories I was reading. I immediately, stopped taking my lipitor.This was during my suicidal week in Jan. of 2005 that my dr. would not treat me for. It was approx. a week and my pain subsided to a 5 instead of a 10.This convinced me, that I was was ,without doubt,right about the lipitor.
Now! 3yrs, later, I still have half the pain, peripheral neuropathy, weakness and fatigue, plus the jitters. I am beeing treated for the neuropathyby my neurologist, who acctually belives me about my symptoms etc. It seems like these conditions are never going away without a miracle cure and the remainder of my life, The most of my pension will be going towards these, very expensive drugs I need to cope with each day.Still!! I have not found a dr. who will simply say, yes, I believe it was the lipitor.
This may be a good drug for some but its hurting a lot of people. Drs. have to stop protecting these statins!!
Drs. must start LISTENING to patients.
We, the PUBLIC, have been used as pfizers testing ground and its time that stopped. Why does our drug federation go along with this?
Maybe a few lawsuits would be the answer.
By the way? Anyone know a good percentage lawyer???

Cymbalta may work on your Neuro pain. 60 mg daily. Check in to it. Should feel a difference in 4 - 5 weeks. Good Luck
