1	Kimmiefull Says: Report Abuse Wednesday, 2/20/2008 10:00:58 PM I stopped my Lipitor on Jan 13 08 because I saw it causes Joint pains and Tendenitis and Having Fibromyalgia I stopped taking it. I did this at the same time I quit my Lyrica! After getting OFF of BOTH of them I feel 100Percent Better.
