Are Lack Of Energy And Weight Gain Are Side Effects Of Lipitor?
Hello! I have recently been diagnosed with high cholesterol and began taking Lipitor. My most recent blood test the numbers were not what my doctor wanted to see so he doubled the prescription. I have been very tired and had no energy and gaining some weight this past 6 weeks. Is this a side effect? Thank you

Lipitor is a statin and in high doses can cause myopathy ,i can give you more confident answer if u can tell its dose
