If my total and LDL cholesterol come down quickly with Lipitor, is it possible or advisable to keep it down with diet/exercise alone without continuing the drug? If my cholesterol had come down quickly to the desired level, should the dosage at least be reduced?
Once I lower my cholesterol with Lipitor, is it possible to keep it down with diet alone?
