My memory is the same as it was when I was 19. As we age we lose some of our memory anyway. I'll be 40 shortly and I think that I remember more now than I did when I was 30.

LIPITOR >> THIEF OF MEMORY ?

Filed under: — Mark @ 3:13 pm

LIPITOR, THIEF OF MEMORY: Does Lipitor and other statin drugs really cause loss of memory? Is this just another slick marketing play that does not really help us live longer? This is even more pertinent in my case because I might be a candidate for Lipitor in the future.

  1. Mark, I am on Zocor and have been for about 2 years now. My memory is the same as it was when I was 19. As we age we lose some of our memory anyway. I’ll be 40 shortly and I think that I remember more now than I did when I was 30.
