While I haven't paid much attention to this issue prior to today, I do
know my husband had to come off Lipitor because of severe pain in his
legs, muscle/joint aches and pains over his body,  He had such severe
fatique he could barely walk much less work.  The depression he
occassionally had became a severe depression that he'd never
experienced before.  His cardiologist and primary physician took him
off of it as soon as they saw what he was experiencing.  He'd not had
peripheral neuropathy before taking Lipitor but now even after being
off it nearly two years, still has severe problems with that.  Later
when he saw a new physician, he was told that those are common side
effects of Lipitor.
