3 | heart disease | STARTED HAVING EXCRUCIATING PAIN IN SHOULDERS AND NECK, MEMORY LOSS, NO FEELING RIGHT...ALREADY TAKING 40 MG OF LIPITOR FOR 6 MO. BEFORE THAT 20 MG LIPITOR FOR 4 YEARS. THEN THIS DRUG ADDED IN BY DOCTOR. HAVE DISCONTINUED USE OF LIPITOR COMPLETELY AND FEELING MUCH BETTER WITH ALL THE ABOVE PROBLEMS, BUT WONDER IF THIS DRUG IS ADDING TO THE PROBLEM? HASANYONE EXPERIENCED EXTREME MUSCLE/JOINT PAIN AND MEMORY LOSS WITH THIS DRUG? | F | 59 | 1 months | 5/22/2005 | 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 | 4/13/2005 | 1 | hypertension | Pressure in head and eyes, cough, persistent lump in throat, dizziness, extreme fatigue. | F | 45 | 2 years | 2/21/2005 | 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 | 2/19/2005 | 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 | 2/14/2005 | 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 | 2/13/2005 | 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 | 2/3/2005 | 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 | 1/23/2005 | 3 | high blood pressure | persistant cough especially at night. Impotence | M | 50 | 10 months | 12/22/2004 | 3 | high blood pressure | none | worked well at first but has leveled off | M | 69 | 18 months | 12/12/2004 | 5 | BP | The cough drives me crazy. I keep a bottled water next to me at night to soothe it. (not that it works though) | F | 33 | 1 years | 10/20/2004 | 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 | 8/20/2004 | 2 | High Blood Pressure | I am taking a Lisinopril/HCTZ combo pill. No side effects but did not reduce blood pressure. | Doctor is adding Toprol-XL in addition to the combo pill. | M | 46 | 7 months | 7/13/2004 | 3 | hypertension | I have this gagging-type cough that has come about since I've been taking prinivil. The medication has helped my blood pressure, but I can't stand this cough. | F | 35 | | 7/10/2004 | 3 | high blood pressure | swelling of feet and sometimes hands, muscle pain | F | 65 | 1 years | 6/5/2004 | 4 | high blood pressure | none | M | 44 | 5 days | 2/23/2004 | 4 | Hypertension | None | No discernable difference between Prinivil and the generic equivalent, Lisinopril - both work for my | M | 39 | 11 years | 1/7/2004 |
