I have taken Lipitor-style drugs for more than 10 years. After I began taking them, I had a couple of blood tests to ensure my liver wasn't reacting badly. The results were fine and I am not aware of any side effects whatsoever.
I have genetic cholesterol problems, meaning that my body makes too much cholesterol and therefore diet, exercise, etc are only marginal factors in that respect. Lipitor got my levels down to normal. It's probably the main reason, if not the only reason I am still alive.
The only proviso, like someone else wrote, is that Lipitor is only one of several medications I take. My health is badly shot too, so it is possible Lipitor is responsible for some of my symptoms. However it is the least likely cause and none of my doctors have ever suggested it.
