 4  High BP I have taking accupril (and/or quinapril) or monopril or zestril for 15 years, although they are effective in contolling my BP the cough is getting unbearable. Cough seems to be worst with accupril (quinapril). Use HCTZ to enhance the effect of th accupril. Doctor took me off accupril yesterday but said it will take two to four years for the cough to stop.

 4  high blood pressure I have been taking accupril for 6 years. I have had dry cough in the past but have not experienced it lately. I feel lightheaded and dizzy at times. Energy level is low and sexual drive has diminished. I also take Lipritor and it may be causing some of the effects. The drug works well for reducing blood pressure as I changed medication on several occassions and my blood pressure became uncontrollable. M 45 6 years

 4  Diabetic Nephropathy dry cough The drug has been succesfull (in my case) by controlling the level of albuminuria and drastically reducing the rate of damage to my kidneys. I have never seen nor heared of ACE INHIBITORS used this way and dry hacking cough has been present throughout since the beginning of taking the drug. M 46 7 years

 4  high blood pressure I have currently been taking Accupril for three years. And have recently, again started with an annoying dry cough during the night and when I am physically tired. This med does the trick, cough, cough. I stopped taking Accupril for about two years and was on several other medications, although I no longer had the annoying cough my bp remained uncontrolled and many of them made me tired and lethargic.
