Based on the information available, there is no definitive or uniform consensus regarding the taste change associated with Lipitor (atorvastatin) use. Some reports and studies do not mention any significant taste changes as a side effect of this medication [1]. However, a small number of anecdotal accounts suggest that some individuals may experience a metallic or altered taste in their mouth after starting Lipitor [2].

It is important to note that taste changes can be a side effect of various medications, and Lipitor is no exception. However, taste changes are not listed as a common side effect in Lipitor's prescribing information [3].

In summary, while a minority of users may experience taste changes when taking Lipitor, it does not appear to be a widespread or common occurrence based on the available information. If you are taking Lipitor and have concerns about taste changes or any other side effects, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider.
