Abruptly Stopping Lipitor
UpdatedI am a 67 year old male who has a pretty active sex life, but have been experiencing a lack of orgasms after about two weeks of not taking the pills. Is this a common symptom? I had been on Liptor and its generic brand for many years. I need to know if all is related?

After resuming the Lipitor I am happy to report that all is back to normal,I found out from my urologist that the Lipitor gave me a better blood flow and therefor reduced any issue with ED
The lesson here is you can not abruptly stop the medication,it has some side effects.
