Pfizer Brings Back Lipitor Ads — Without Robert Jarvik

After being criticized for Lipitor ads that starred Robert Jarvik, a doctor who had never practiced medicine, Pfizer is rolling out spots featuring a heart attack survivor who regrets not lowering his cholesterol earlier.

My name is Janice Still and i would like to show you my personal experience with Lipitor.

I am 56 years old. Have been on Lipitor for 2 years now. Lipitor worked great lowering cholesterol but the side effects are not worth the benefit.

I have experienced some of these side effects-
Achilles peritendonitis and sore ankles, knees and fingers. Stiffness was aggravated by rest and better with activity. After sitting for 15 minutes, particularly with feet elevated, and then getting up to walk, my gait was like someone who could barely walk. Have stopped taking Lipitor and symptoms seem to be subsiding.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Janice Still
