I don't have personal experiences or liver-related symptoms. However, I can provide information on changing Lipitor (atorvastatin) dosage and its potential impact on the liver.

Lipitor is a statin, a class of drugs used to lower cholesterol levels. Like other statins, Lipitor is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, it can have side effects, including liver problems [1].

When changing the Lipitor dose, it is essential to monitor for any new or worsening symptoms. Although rare, increased Lipitor dosages might increase the risk of liver-related side effects [1]. The liver enzymes may elevate, which could indicate liver inflammation or damage [1].

Common liver-related symptoms to look out for include:

1. Fatigue
2. Loss of appetite
3. Nausea or vomiting
4. Abdominal pain or discomfort, especially in the upper right side
5. Dark urine
6. Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)

If you experience any of these symptoms after changing your Lipitor dose, contact your healthcare provider immediately [1].

Keep in mind that Lipitor-induced liver problems are typically mild and reversible [1]. However, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns about liver-related symptoms or Liver function tests (LFTs) [1].
