My Mom has been on Crestor for a few years now but honestly it took us such a long time to put the puzzle together that all the things that she was getting was maybe linked to Crestor, considering that we are just your average people we take any info from the Doctor like an ultimate and unquestionable answer but after noticing that her family doctor was basically examining her and just prescribing her more and more meds and there were no signs of things getting better i did research on Crestor and whoah! The horrible things I've read. Latest thing is for the past two months my mom kept complaining about an extreme dry skin, the doctor said it wasn't a big deal that it was related to her aging, my mom wasn't too convinced now for the past few weeks due to the extreme dry skin she started developing rashes around her neck , neck lines seem to be very sore and red and apparently it's painful , rash on the underarms and apparently now the dryness and stiffness is expanding to her face and she's complaining about sore skin around her eyes. I'm so concerned and wish I can help but I feel helpless and with today's docotors and specifically hers I feel there's no hope or solution, I just want her off this medication and want her to get some special lotion to make her feel better, because you're regular over the counter anti itch and anti rash creams are not doing anything but causing more pain.

The only other time I experienced tachycardia was 6 -7 years ago. It was related to another medication I was taking (Arimidix) that produced some of the same side effects - joint and muscle pain. When I stopped taking the Arimidex and the meds were out of my system, I never had another episode until I was taking the Lipitor. I was only on the Lipitor for 2 weeks when I first experienced pain and weakness. I took the Lipitor for a total of 3 weeks and stopped because the pain was getting worse. The tachycardia episode occured 3 days after I stopped taking the Lipitor.
