| 1 | High Blood Pressure | Fatique, 20 pound weight gain, depression (including a sense of giving up), and lathargy. | The symptoms described came on very slowly so much so that I thought that what I was experiencing was related to menapause. During my last checkup my doctor changed my medication because my BP was still too high and I no longer take Prinivil. In the last 4 weeks I have lost 7 pounds, my energy level is higher, I sleep better, my mind is clearer, and my mood has improved. I would have never connected the medication to my symptoms but the quick change in all my symptoms seems to point to the medication being the problem. | F | 43 | 1 years 20 MG 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 1 | Decreased urine output,gained 10 pounds. | Really reduced urine output,weight gain of 10 pounds.Doc says it can't be lisinopril.I don't believe him. | M | 65 | 2 years 10 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 1 | hypertension | My dad (81 yrs old) was on this med. His dr. did not check his blood pressure correctly and had overmedicated him. My dad had tremor,irritability and confusion. Thank God a heart specialist knew to take his BP while he was standing up, and to listen thru a stethoscope in each arm, and not use the BP machine. The new dr. took him off Lisinopril altogether. His personality is much nicer and he is back to his old self. He was too tired to do anything before. | this drug ought to be taken off the market. | M | 81 | 1X day | 12/21/2010 | 2 | Hypertension | Worked well with lowering my bp, but the morning nausea and diarrhea forced me to look elsewhere.

Rapid heart beat, sore muscles in chest and arm sometimes, feeling hopeless, sad, depressed, and am delusional at times thinkig I am someone else or on a secret mission to crack hidden codes in TV shows and movies and post as other characters on the Internet to communicate back. | Blood pressure goes up some times, developing type 2 diabeties, exercsing and doing everything the doctor says to do.
