 1  high blood pressure Severe pains in wrists, ankles, feet, legs. Horrible cough at night. High liver enzymes leading to other problems. I now have weekly blood tests, numerous doctor appointments and continued pain. A GI doctor ended up determining my condition was all related to this drug. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone. I may be in the 1% who are effected with liver problems and bone pains - but - the warnings on this product should be clearer. F 42 3 months

 3  to lower bp In the beginning, I had diarrhea and cramps in my stomach. Pains in my rt leg so bad that I could hardly walk...after that passed I began dry coughing and lastly, burning feet then numbness that started in my pinky fingers & toes, now it's in my lft hand. Although it lowered my bp, I'll be spking to my dr. to see if I can get off of it completely or change to the combo pill, hydro/lisinopril. Currently on 5mg of lisinopril/25mg of hydro. After reading some post, I'm almost afraid to go on other things for fear of worst side effects. F 41 2.5 months

 4  Hypertension I take Lisinopril and the medication works too well. My BP now averages 107/40 whereas before taking the med it averaged 185/85. I have Isolated Systolic Hypertention and attempting to control the systolic number without lowering the diastolic is an impossibility. Fatigue and mild depression are the sides that I experience (both due, I'm sure, to the lowered blood pressure and NOT the Lisinopril) F 66 2 months

 4  High BP I take the generic Lisinopril (2.5 mg.) and am very satisfied with the way it helps to control my high blood pressure. I have the cough that goes with taking this type of med (sometimes it's only controlled by taking small sips of a carbonated beverage and letting it F 66 2 months

 1  High Blood Pressure Depression, gasping for breathe as if I had just ran a race (while I was in bed), sleeplessness, cough. The drug didn't work well. I was using it with Norvasc. It did reduce my blood presure somewhat, but the side effects are terrible. M 52 2 months

 2  high blood pressure Was taking hydrochlorothiazide with no problems and worked on blood pressure. Doctor changed over to Felodipine because she thought I needed to come off the one due to another attack of gout. She put me on Felodipine which gave me a severe headache at back of head and neck, which started at same time every day, about 2:00 PM and lasted till I went to sleep. Then put me on Lisinopril. This has caused a dry hacking cough, which is very annoying. Last all day and into the night. I have sleep apnea and this makes it impossible to use machine with full face mask. M 55 1 days

 5  Hypertensive None This medication has been great. It lowers my BP without drowsyness. I was on beta-blockers but I cannot get allergy shots while on beta-blockers. The switch was a great decision by my Doctor. M 45 2 years
