Despite the facts shown in the article, drugs like lipitor have side effect profiles that could cancel out any benefits. For myself, I have numerous neurological problems as a result of medications and HIV. The problems resulting from drugs like lipitor would only add to that. I have several friends who have had major complications. I really don't need that. I have told my doctor that under no circumstances would I take ANY statin medication.

Why you didn't post my comments on this article? are you so beholden to drug companies that you won't allow any negative comments? It is important for people to know the potential side effects of a medication so they can make an informed decision whether or not it is right for them. Do you remember the beginning days of AZT when people died of toxicity before they determined the correct dosing? If I had accepted every one of my Doctor's recommendations without question I would not be here now.
