LISINOPRIL AND HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE Reviews

Started off on 10 mg and notice a decrease in my BP within a week. My BP ran consistently at 160-165/85. At 30 day checkup doc wasn't happy with the 145-133 readings so he increase to 20 mg. BP is going down but I'm encountering dizziness, headaches, itchy skin and cough.

Brought BP down but do not like the dizziness.

Dizziness for a couple of weeks when I started and any time my dosage is adjusted. Causes potassium loss so I have to take a potassium supplement. But generally no noticeable side effects. Got my BP where it should be in no time at all.

Works very well for me.

All listed common side effects

People who know me said “what happened to you?”when they saw me after starting on this drug. I am experiencing too much joint pain to continue it.

None

Seems Benign

Extreme fatigue, sharp twinges in chest, intermittently. Throat felt like it was closing. Bp dropped to 90/70..(Day of ER visit Bp 175/80) on Amlodipine for one year.....headaches, frequency especially upon awaking in am..around 3 or 4 am.

Not for me.....really scary med.

Extreme fatigue, tiredness, sleepiness

I could not function when taking this drug. I spent entire days sleeping and still it wasn’t enough rest. Muscles were so weak I could barely lift my arm. I didn’t have this side effect with plain Lisinopril, it’s due to the added HCTZ. I added a potassium supplement but it made no difference.

Very tired pain in my legs cramps,insomnia, dry mouth little or no energy too much to endure

None.

This is the only one that has lowered my blood pressure with no side effects

Blurred vision, tired, foot cramps, depression...and around week 4 i woke up with cough, itching, throat swelling and i almost died

This medicine is horrible....check your bp daily.

Dizziness lightheaded fatigue sick feeling went to Er blood pressure dropped from 220/160. To a low of 85/65. Dr cut dosage from 20 mg to 10 mg.

I would tell you that you don't need it everyday. Monitor your bp everyday. Some days I take it and feel like death

Dizziness almost fainted at work. Went to ER and my blood pressure went from 220/180 to a low 85/75. Dosage was cut in half.monitor every day if you take this med. Some days may not need it!Buy a machine asap

I developed a severe dry cough, dizziness, and headache within 2 weeks, even at such a low dose, and had to stop taking this medication. Very disappointing, as it controlled my BP rather well.

For the first 3 weeks my body had to adjust: BP went really high (155/90) then low (97/55), off & on feeling very tired & crappy, with a headache each evening. Occasional light headedness. As time went on all the crappy feelings dissipated & by week 4 felt fine & BP was okay at 107/72.

No dry mouth,no diarrhea , NO "kennel cough", which I attribute to my taking only 1/2 of the 10mg tablet. That small dose is probably why I don't have that issue. Previously took Maxide for about 5 years but BP started out of control & was given Linsinopril.

Cramping in foot and palms. Jaw has become swollen with severe pain when eating. Cant recommend yet as I have only been on this for 3 days.

None at all

I am very pleased w the results and no side effects. As an added bonus my migraines have gone from at least five a week to two in six months. I had no idea it would affect my migraines. This medication has been a godsend to me!
