4. I have had that same reaction to Lipitor.

Am thinking I need to ask my doc for a different statin as this one brings depression and exhaustion, and with MS I don't need any more of that stuff.

I know it's Lipitor because I take it and stop, take it and stop and the difference within a couple of days is very noticeable.

I read somewhere that there is some connection between low cholesterol in the brain and depression.
