Medication side effects

Atorvastatin made me stupid.

Over a period of about six months, I found it difficult to make complex decisions, which is way NOT cool for an IT project manager. I even had a couple people say "you don't seem as sharp as you usually are", which is quite disturbing.

It was gradual and I honestly thought I was just getting old.

I happened to be working with a remote site IT guy who was telling me about some complications he had, and that was one of them.

I literally jumped up and screamed "AHA"! as soon as he mentioned the brand and what happened to him.

I looked it up online and it was somewhat difficult to find but it was there.

Stopped taking them that day and after about three weeks was back to as normal as I can figure.

No info of any kind about that in the product literature. WTF?
Don't think it was making me stupid. lol, but did Lipitor for years and my legs gradually got to being sore all the time, frequent cramps. Been off for about 6 months and nearly back to normal.
