I guess I should give you more:) I have been on them (Lipitor) for just over a month
They made me sick but then ok.
I already take celexa and well butrin for depression, pretty good doses.
But I find myself thinking "I hate my life" "I hate my body" (I feel like shit). Other things like oh, stabbing a fork into my hand, it's like I imagine it.
I've been to these places before, but not for many many years. I don't want to call friends, I am more fatigued than ever, and that was already pretty bad.
So, I was thinking about it and wondering why I was thinking that way, and that was the only change I could think of.
Ugh!! I know that I'll be ok because I am aware of it going on, I have a therapist if needed.
My own personal experience: My doctor likes to "doctor" and is certain that because I am overweight I will have high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. He put me on a statin and I took it and didn't think too much about it. After a short amount of time I began be become increasingly depressed. Often on the edge of crying for no reason. I went on line and took all the depression tests and they all told me to call a doctor or go to the ER right away. I thought about suicide a lot -- never really considered it, but thought about it. I have to add that I do deal with depression and have several very stressful things going on in my life, but nothing had changed or happened to have me as depressed as I was getting.
The next dr. visit I told him that I was really having a problem with depression, we talked about it and he adjusted my antidepressant. He asked me if I was at risk for suicide. I said "I understand it now, but I won't do it."
Fast forward a month or so and I was looking up statins on the computer because my live-in great guy was complaining that his statin (which he has been taking since his triple bypass a few years ago) were making him forget things. So as I was reading up I saw mentions of statins causing or increasing depression. I immediately stopping taking mine. The deep, dark depression I had been experiencing began lifting. The next time I saw my doc I told him I had stopped taking it and why. The depression is gone and I am my normal self. And my cholesterol is fine, by the way.
