I've been on Lipitor for the past few years for my bad cholesterol was high and my good cholesterol was low. I was also told to change my diet and exercise more (I was 265 lbs at 5'11" and now I'm 210 lbs), which I did. When I first started, I had to take one pill a day. For me the side effects was mostly depression. The diarrhea that I did have was mostly from eating more fresh fruit and oatmeal.
Last summer, my dosage went down to one every other day. Now I'm down to half a pill every other day. My bad cholesterol is now low and my good cholesterol is high. However, I still have to watch what i eat and that means nothing with high transfat.
Good luck with getting the cholesterol down, Mike.
