@amberpep- My sister and I use to take Lipitor and we both had what appeared to memory loss. After we stopped it and went on to something else that loss returned. It's not permanent.
Where did you find the information that you stated?
Here is up to date information on Statins.

@merpreb, Just found this new discussion and appreciate what you wrote and the link you provided. @johnbishop had posted two links on the effects of statins and peripheral neuropathy. This link adds more reason for me to have a “statin discussion” with my doc at my next annual exam because I’ve taken Lipitor in the past and now take Atorvastin for cholesterol.

Merry ..... actually, the first hint I had of it (not thinking of meds.) I was talking to my therapist and he was updating his medication records on me. When I mentioned simvistatin, he looked at me and said, "really? hmmmm" ..... well, not being one to let anything slide, I immediately got on line and just typed in simvistatin. Up popped several sites, with Mayo and Cleveland Clinic being the ones I rely on.
