annjune,   Thanks for your question.   The fatigue and excess sleep are not side effects of the Lipitor itself, but could be due to a problem caused by the Lipitor.  Of course this could be due to some other underlying problem.  The muscle aches can be a side effect of the Lipitor.   You need to see your doctor and have him evaluate your symptoms.  If you've had muscle damage from the Lipitor, it could cause your fatigue, kidney, or liver problems.  You will also need some blood work performed to help define what the problem is.    Try to get an appointment with your doctor in next few days.  Until then, keep well hydrated and get plenty of rest.    Best wishes and feel better.   Martin Cane, M.D.
