I have however, taken Lipitor 80mg for a long time, and i have had to add COQ10 which helps me with muscle aches and memory. Doctors forget to tell you that you should take COQ10 with your cholesterol meds. It is a supplement you can buy over the counter.

 I will look into the COQ10 and talk to my doctor about it. I don't really want to pop more pills if I can avoid it, but there is a chance we may have to add more pills to the list anyways as the metformin does not as of yet bring my numbers in under 200 like they should be.
I feel sick pretty much every morning due to metformin, however I always end up feeling better once I convince myself to get up, drink some water, and put something in my stomach. I don't really get muscle aches or anything like that from the Lipitor thankfully.
