 3  Protect kidneys and lower BP Will update after comparing difference before and after stopping lisinopril. Lisinopril is often taken with a statin. This is my case. The side-effects may overlap somewhat. I stopped one statin and immediately felt better with debilitating pain stopped gradually two months after stopping the statin. My doctor immediately prescribed another statin. It is in the garbage where it belongs. Now I still have some memory issues and I am stopping lisinopril today to see if I feel even better. I suffered from depression and anxiety due either to the statin and lisinopril or the statin alone. One or both of these drugs caused me depression and so I was prescribed Paxil. Paxil almost destroyed my mind. My lesson so far is that all of my prescriptions have harmed my life in horrendous ways. After stopping all of these devil drugs I will see if all side-effects go away and I become a human being again. I'd rather die younger than suffer from these poisons. M 60 8 years

 1  High Blood Pressure Severe diarrhea, chalk taste/loss in taste buds Took for 8 months, then woke to severe diarrhea 15-20 times a day for 3 months. Doctors visits, 2 emergency room visits, and Mayo Clinic. Mayo diagnosed me with Lymphosytic Colitis. Made connection to Lisinopril as cause after hours of research. I stopped taking Lisinopril, but now I have to take Imodium several times a day for the rest of my life. F 55 8 months

 1  High blood pressure I took lisinopril for a few days and on day 4 the side effects started to hit me. Im diabetic and this drug was literally washing away all my sugar causing my blood sugar to severely drop. I continued to take this drug not understanding this was a side effect. After about day 10 came the heart palpitations. Then by day 15 I had severe panic attacks. I tried to think if I had stress in my life or where all this was coming from. It was so bad I actually contemplated suicide. Then I decided to stop taking lisinopril on my own because that was the only thing I was doing different in my everyday routine. Stay away from this drug if at all possible. It almost killed me. F 42 3 weeks

 1  High Blood Pressure Slowly I started having terrible stomach problems. Severe explosive diarrhea, stomach pain, constant stomach discomfort, along with hair loss and depression. I changed my hormones, stopped taking my vitamins, stopped coffee etc and nothing fixed it. No one realized it was the lisinopril. I finally got a 'light bulb moment' when I went to a gastro dr. By then, the only thing I was taking by mouth was the BP med. She mentioned it might be that. I stopped taking this drug, slowly weaning off completely about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I've not had a single issue. Best I've felt in YEARS. And the kicker...my BP is no worse. F 55 3 years

 1  High blood pressure Daily things were fine and it did lower my blood pressure but I was increasingly suffering intense bouts of abdominal pain and vomiting that required ER visits for pain meds. No doctor in all those years ever mentioned it could be lisinopril and it was always listed in my charts. Every test was run and I was told eventually my bowels would swell and block so badly I would need emergency surgery. Google "intestinal angioedema lisinopril". It's the same sort of problem as facial and throat swelling and hives but doctors never figured it out even though it's easy enough to find if you know what you're looking for. I finally diagnosed myself, quit taking it and haven't had an episode in over a year. Doctors need to learn how to use Google. F 70 20 years

 1  HBP bad cough, tired, nausous, post nasal drip with thick mucus. I stopped taking it after 3 months because I was always dizzy. I thought it was because my BP was low. I started taking it again 2 months later not noticing my symptoms were gone. Then the coughing, the mucus foggy mind,started. Didn't think that it could have been the medicine. I told my doc and she took me off it. I'm reading aup on it now. This is a terrible drug. F 52 6 months

 1  High BP This medication freaking sucks, I have headache all day at school and I feel dizzy most of the time. I took this for high blood pressure because I used to get a lot of headaches but now it is no difference than not taking it but it is actually worse. I come home and try to work on my H.W but no I just can't. At first I thought there was something wrong with my body and then I realized that all that was happening started getting worse when I started the medication. I don' have insurace which is why my doctor recommende this medication, but if anyone knows a good medication that I can start taking specially for my age, just let me know or post into that website.
