Lipitor

[FoozMike]

So as of this morning i woke up with a body temp of 99.9. I have been on lipitor for about 6 days now and i read that one of the side effects is a fever... About how long would you all think it takes to start seeing side effects from medication? Is this something to call my cardio on or wait a few days?

Remember to take your Lipitor (other Cholestorol meds) at night.  This way you will get the side-effects from the medicine, while you are asleep and shouldn't notice any side-effects.

Hope it helps :)

Thanks for your advise. My fiance said the same thing... but since I am one who never gets sicks i cant even remember the last time i had a fever i get all freaked out. Just because I havent had a fever in (i cant even remember) does not mean i wont get them..... Thanks

I have had side effects show up as early as same day to as long as 3 months....considering this is flu season and there is always something going around, I think I would wait a few days...could be this is totally unrelated to the Lipitor.  It is also possible that if it is the Lipitor, it won't last that long.  

Take a couple of tylenol and call us in the am   :)
