| 1 | Blood pressure | Neuropathy and pain in both feet. Dry eyes. Insomnia. | This stuff is poison. | F | 68 | 2 years 1X day | 7/27/2016 | 1 | Hypertension | Death.....This drug killed my 57 yr old brother on 6/18/2016. (Allergic reaction) that caused his tongue, face, throat and other organs to swell. Tongue was swollen to the point where hisnair flow was cut off. (My loved one was swollen so bad he was unrecognizable. Dotors tried 18 different drugs to reverse the allergic reaction and nothing helped. His throat/esophagus was swollen so bad that a tracheostomy tube would not go in. This drug needs to be taken off the market so no other family will have to go through this tragedy. The makers should be jailed for murder of the 1st degree, for you know what this drug is doing to ppl and yet you distribute it to millions. The FDA should take it off the market. I advise anyone that's on it to ask your physician for a different type of medicine. For this is not the 1st nor the last person that will suffer and the end result be death. | You will be held accountable. If not by man then by GOD. Thy shall not murder. | M | 57 | 1 months 10mg | 7/2/2016 | 1 | High bp | Started out with clenching my jaw so tightly, then after 2-3 weeks sever headache daily...Also blurry vision | I have been on several different meds for bp but all so far have been awfull | F | 56 | 1 months 20mg | 6/30/2016 | 5 | New onset hypertension | A little weaker, but then again it's a change | My initial bp was 167/84, as high as 170/105. 2 days after starting 5mg bp down to 126/77. When starting any medication u should read before initiating the drug so u know what side effects to look for. If u have them- stop the drug and consult a physician.my doc is great I encourage starting at lower dosage monitoring, then going up. It's not difficult, and ... Not every drug is for everyone. | F | 53 | 4 days 5mg | 6/29/2016 | 1 | Hypertension | Total body rash, raised red welts over entire body. Head to soles of feet. Extreme itching. Difficulty swallowing, angioedema. Vision problems. Violent headache. 3 trips to ER. 3 day admission to hospital.3 weeks later and entire body is peeling. Looks like a bad sunburn. Still on prednisone which makes very shaky. Still very weak. Thought I was going to die and didn't even care. Not sure I will ever try a new drug. | F | 84 | 2 days 5mg 1X day | 6/29/2016 | 3 | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE | a lot of bad dreams. when I stop taking it they go away. Some dreams …..just glad I woke up….and it was all a dream and not reality. | M | 67 | 365 days 20MG 1X day | 6/23/2016 | 1 | High blood pressure | Dizzy and light headed | I have been taking lisinopril for 6 months because of my high blood pressure. It just seems like I can't take it anymore. Like it is poison to my body. All of a sudden feeling light headed/dizzy/floaty. I have now stopped taking it. I'm now going to manage my own blood pressure with lifestyle changes. Taking this medicine is not worth it. I'll be glad when it's all the way out of my system!! | F | 36 | 6 months 20mg | 6/23/2016 | 1 | high blood pressure | Feeling really bad,insomnia,weird dreams.Woke up in middle of night felt like my heart was going stop.Felt like I was poisoned | Come to find out this drug was developed from Brazilian pit vipers venom.It kills its prey by lowering its blood pressure among other things.So I guess we are taking snake venom in a pill, I decided to pass after researching this drug I suggest you do too | M | 58 | 6 weeks 25 1X day | 6/11/2016 | 1 | high blood pressure | My blood pressure was high and I was put on lisinopril. I started getting sick.. Flu like symptoms. I thought it was the flu. As time went on my throat seem to be sore everyday then I started coughing a lot. I went to the doctor and was told I had pneumonia. I started feeling some better after antibiotics. Then the feeling like mucus was constantly going down my throat. I looked it up online and figured I had post nasal drip. Dayquil helped but not enough. I would cough so much until I would throw up and urinate on myself. This has gone on for months. I didn't know what could be the reason. Cough so much I haven't had a voice in months. At night its so much worse. My ears hurt my throat hurts. It hurts to talk. I cant sleep. I finally remembered about the time this all started was when I was put on lisinopril 25mg. I went online and searched and found many forums of people going through the same thing. I use to be on this medicine many years ago 5 mg and 10 mg. Never a big problem then. Just sore throat and light headed. But now my thought process even seems to be effected. I've been off the medicine for 3 days. I take Dayquil all through the day to help me cope. I wish I knew how long until it's out of my system. I've felt so helpless the last few months. I'm not the same person at all. I've suffered terribly because of this medicine. | F | 45 | 7 months | 6/4/2016 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Dizziness, Eye Problems , nausea, trimers, sweating , chills, | Feel Very Bad. Not good for you | F | 69 | 1 years 1X day | 6/4/2016 | 1 | hypertension | headache, ringing ears, digestive issues, joint pain, tingling/ burning lips, anxiety, just about everything you read about in side effects | If you know someone on this drug, ask them to evaluate other aspects of their health NOT connected to blood pressure. I took this poison for over ten years and until I experienced an episode of tongue swelling I never even researched the damage this drug can do. Stupid, I know. I have not taken it since May 9th and since then have been on an ARB which landed me in the er with a swollen tongue and throat after the second dose and a CCB which caused my upper lip to swell after the third dose. I think the years of Lisinopril have permanently damaged my system. | F | 64 | 10 years 10mg | 6/2/2016 | 1 | For high blood pressure | I had constant coughing. I asked to be taking off medication. And they said lets see how it goes. A week after that my vision blurred and my blood pressure was 200 higher then it was without the medication. I wish they would pull it from the market. I ended up in the ER. And still have blurred vision a week after stopping the drug. | Never and i mean never take this drug. I hope in time i will get my vision back and the cough will stop. | F | 46 | 1 months 20mg | 6/1/2016 | 1 | For high blood pressure | I had constant coughing. I asked to be taking off medication. And they said lets see how it goes. A week after that my vision blurred and my blood pressure was 200 higher then it was without the medication. I wish they would pull it from the market. I ended up in the ER. And still have blurred vision a week after stopping the drug. | Never and i mean never take this drug.

It was after I stopped taking it that I realized I had all of the other side effects, too. | F | 55 | 10 years 20 mg 2X day | 5/25/2016 | 1 | High blood pressure | Itching, extreme nausea, dizzy, tingly hands & forearms | I was put on it after an episode of high blood pressure. Within 2 doses I was very nauseous and unable to eat anything. My hands had a pins and needles feeling. Made me lightheaded and dizzy. Have been off it now for a week. Stomach feels better, but still lightheaded and tingly. Do not recommend. | M | 43 | 4 days 10mg | 5/21/2016 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Tired, no motivation, when I get up in the morning I get dizzy and this is just sitting up slowly, stomach pain, horrible cough, off balance all day, feel like I'm dying. Oh anxiety, panic attacks. Chest pain and joint pain along with severe pain in my back on the middle right side. This is awful going to try diet and exercise to lower it once this gets out of my system. | I'm currently cutting down to 5mg for a few days and I'm going to stop I can't handle the side effects. | F | 46 | 1 months 10mg | 4/27/2016 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Blurred vision, sore throat, face and extremity numbness, have lost over half of my hair, still losing it daily. | I've been taking Lisinopril for 1 year May 28, 2016. They started me on 20 mg when I was hospitalized for high blood pressure and heart attack/stroke like symptoms. After I was released my Dr. raised me to the 40 mg almost immediately at my follow up appointment. In the last 11 months I have lost almost 60% of my very thick, healthy, very long hair. I am going bald around my hairline and the top of my head, and my hair falls out in clumps. I am scared to wash it or even brush it any more. There is nothing else causing it, the only contributing factor is the Lisoprinil, as again, I have a picture that was taken of my glorious hair right before I started taking the Lisinopril. I have only just learned that Lisoprinil causes hair loss by beginning research on the internet. I am so distressed. I've cried and cried over the loss of my hair and now to find out that it is linked to my blood pressure medication?! This isn't fair. I don't even want to go out in public any more! Why do they not tell you these things? I do not mean to sound vain, but my hair was my pride and glory. Most women know what I mean. Female pattern baldness does not run in our family. I just cannot believe this! | F | 38 | 11 months 40 MG 1X day | 4/13/2016 | 1 | High blood pressure | Coughing, fatigue excessive mucus, flu-like symptoms, dizziness, nausea, anxiety, numbness in hands and feet, throat swelling. | I was prescribed 20mg by my doctor. She started me with taking the 1/2 pill for 2 weeks, then she increased to a whole pill. I was sick the entire time. Would not recommend this drug. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 4/12/2016 | 2 | High BP | Blurred vision, dry eyes, swollen throat with tickle, foggy thinking | Asking doc to switch me to something else. The blurred vision is too annoying. It did bring my bp down to 126/78 most days. But, side effects are not worth it. | M | 60 | 7 days 5mg 1X day | 4/11/2016 |
