I was wanting to see if it was safe to take 10mg each of Lipitor and Zetia together on a daily basis. My brother-in-law does and he has become a different person as far as his mood.

Lipitor and Zetia together are fine.
While it may not be the drugs causing the change in his mood, there may be other factors contributing - such as stress??
