Cycling with cholesterol meds

I went on lipitor and a week into the meds I felt like I'd hit the wall cycling.(Litterly as well as figuratively)
Now entering month 3 the condition hasn't lessened. Joint pain, muscle weakness,extreem fatigue.
The docs suggested CoQ10 supplement but-even with a double daily dosage- cycling with lipitor is a losing battle.
Was wondering if this is a long term (ie: does the body adjust)situation.
It's taken me years to get back to the cycling form I enjoyed in my 30s and I'm simply not willing to wind up at the back of the pack all over again.
