This is my first posting as I just discovered this site after having what I now believe to have been a side effect of Lipitor. I take an 80mg does and have been doing so for years. Yesterday I was working out when I experienced a very "fog like" state of being. I stopped my work out and went to change but had no idea of what the combination on my lock was. It's an old lock that I've been using for years. This experience was not the first time. I had a similar experience several months ago but wrote it off to the fact that I had been on a high protein diet for two weeks and thought that I had just been overdoing it. This time, I was not on a diet. It took several hours before I remembered my combination and then could not understand why it was such a blank. While I was in the "fog", it almost felt like I was drifting between a conscious state of being and a dream. It was very strange. I've made a doctor's appointment for Mon. I went online to see if this was a symptom of a stroke or heart attack and stumbled upon what sounds like a common side effect of this drug. Is there anyway of confirming it? I have high cholestrol and don't want to stop the drug, and, even if I did, this is only the second time I have had this experience after taking the drug for years. Why now?
