Lipitor and Fatigue: Exploring Alternatives Like Zetia

Question
Doctor:
I have been very fatigued every since my lipitor was increased about a year ago from 20 to 40 mg, it does what it should my cholestrol is 170, i was wandering if the drug zetia might be worth asking my doctor to switch to, in an attempt to knock of this fatigue.

Answer
there are many ways to treat cholesterol... if you are fatigued or have weak muscles or muscle pain, then your doctor has to consider Lipitor as the cause.  Zetia is not for everyone, it depends on what your cholesterol breakdown (hdl and ldl is) to figure out whether it is a good alternative
