Perhaps: That depends on what your lipid (cholesterol) profile looks like. Consult your physician, don't do it on your own.

Why do you ask: Why are you taking lipitor (atorvastatin)? What dose? How long have you been on the drug? What is your cholesterol, especially LDL level. Consult your doctor.

Sure: Statins even once per week can be beneficial, but they're best taken each evening for maximum effect.
