No, I'm not a doctor or anything. I've just been around a lot of them, and researched drugs because I'm taking care of my father, who takes a lot of scripts. He was on Lipitor for a while, and it affected his cognative skills, and has been put on a smaller does of Zocor.

The doc wanted me to take Lipitor too, and I flat out refused after witnessing what it did to my dad, and reading some of things things I've read. Such as: Lipitor® Thief of Memory by: Duane Graveline M.D., the former astronaut I was refering to.

Google is our friend.

Disclaimer: Always discuss things with the doc. Bring up issues you have researched. If they're good doctors, they do listen.

I've just looked through that site. It is disturbing to put it mildly. I suppose I need to raise this with my doctor who I believe to be very capable.

What I do know for a fact is that these weird dreams (and I do mean weird dreams) have to be from something. And my wife reports them as does her brother who also went on them not too long ago.

The bizarreness of these dreams would have to be experienced to be believed. They are not nightmares; just intensely weird. And there is nothing that I can point to my my own personal life that would explain them. I'm not depressed; do not have a hard life, or poor health or anything like that. But these crazy dreams are literally out of this world. Something has to be causing that.
