I've been on lipitor for years -5 or 6- and my dr. and I always discuss-emphasis on cuss-getting off this drug. He is adamently against it. Also, I have hi blood pressure and am on 3 drugs for that and it stll stays 135-150. But i want off lipitor and have read through some of this material. I didn't take my 10mg yesterday or today. Is there a need ed pattern to get off-should I wean myself or is cold turkey ok. I lc most of the time and will fall off for about 6-8 weeks during the year. My chlo numbers are now good-in the normal range except trig are a little high. Dr. apt is in late May or June '09 with blood work-last done in Dec '08. Any info, opine, or help will be appreciated.
