Hello,
Lipitor may cause confusion and also muscle pain. It is important that you discuss these symptoms with your doctor so he can examine you and possibly have some blood tests (creatinine kinase) to make sure if your symptoms are related to Lipitor use or not and treat you promptly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
