My husband had them all the time when he was on Lipitor. He would jump out of bed, waking me up, and try to stretch out the cramps. He has not had them since he stopped taking Lipitor more than 18 months ago.
Yes, I also would jump out of bed with severe legcramps while I was taking Lipitor.....but only in the final year that I was able to take Lipitor. When I stopped Lipitor due to muscle problems and weakness...plus fatigue-the night time legcramps stopped. I never really thought about them being related at the time.
I am on Zocor and yes, my legs often feel funny when I am lying in bed. They feel achy and kind of restless. Restless more than achy. I try to walk more and exercise helps!
