| 2 | High Blood Pressure | Extreme fatigue, pain and stiffness in joints and muscles around joints, heaviness and weakness in my arms and legs, dry eyes. Anxiety, shortness of breath, upset stomach. Hot flashes and then feeling cold. | My issues came after switching generic manufacturers! I had been taking lisinopril made by Lupin without any side effects except for dry cough, which eventually went away, and dry eyes (which play havoc no my contacts). Than the pharmacy switched to Watson and now I'm in misery. I skipped a pill on purpose to make sure it was from that, and sure enough, the anxiety & shortness of breath didn't happen. I decided to cut the pill in half until I see the doctor later this week. I'm not having the anxiety, etc., but still have the extreme fatigue and am in pain! And my blood pressure is staying about the same, in fact it went up a little bit on the new generic! Have been doing research & found foods & supplements that naturally lower blood pressure. I'm telling the doctor this week I no longer want to take lisinopril or anything for that matter! I want to try and lower it myself through diet, exercise & natural supplements. | F | 51 | 3 years 20 MG 1X day | 5/20/2014 | 1 | hypertension | atrial fibrilation, hypertension, fainting, falling, anxiety, depression | This medicine was given to my dad. He's 91 years old and they wanted to put a pace maker in because his heart (suddenly) started skipping beats and he fell. He's always been a healthy 91 except for having diabetes, which he controls very well. He still lives alone with his dog. After research, we took him off lisinopril. He never had another 'episode' and feels like a new person! I believe he will easily live to 100. | M | 91 | 1 months 1X day | 5/12/2014 | 1 | Borderline high blood pressure | The two biggest side effects were continued tiredness and vertigo; Before taking the drug, I exercised daily and enjoyed it. After starting this drug, I would come home from work and be too exhausted to exercise. Further, I felt the drug depressed my feelings. I am an outgoing person without this drug. I noticed I would have trouble standing and felt like I would fall over. This was terrible. The drug also caused incontinence and a lack of libido. Finally, I felt infected all over my body. I told my doctor and he claimed I had prostatitis. I ended up in the hospital with a bleeding ulcer. I refuse to ever take this drug again. I feel the side effects are still with me even after eight months. | This drug should be banned. | M | 59 | 9 months 40 1X day | 5/3/2014 | 1 | Elevated blood pressure | A little over a month after I was switched to this medication, I began experiencing flushing of the face, blood shot eyes, nasal congestion, etc. The symptoms grew in severity after a few months and ended up in the emergency room. After 3 or trips to the ER, my allergist, gastroenterologist, etc. began running tests to rule several illnesses with similar symptoms such as Carcinoid Syndrome and Mastocytosis but (thank God) the tests came back negative. I was eventually diagnosed with idiopathic anaphylaxis and I was prescribed an EpiPen and a lot of antihistamine to reduce the severity of the reactions. My last trip to the ER was 8/13 and at a f/u appointment with my primary doctor, she looked at my medication history and confirmed that I began having the first symptoms of anaphylaxis right after I started taking Lisinopril. She took me off the medication and I have not had anymore symptoms or anaphylaxis since. | F | 52 | 3 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/22/2014 | 1 | blood pressure | EXTREMELY TIRED!!!!

My blood pressure was at critical levels, so it was this or stroke. Used it in the short term, to keep down my BP, while I worked on changing my diet and exercising. Glad I have finally come off it, but have noted I am getting hot flashes, after a week of stopping. | F | 38 | 18 months 10 mg 1X day | 2/4/2014 | 5 | High blood pressure 130/90 | At first I had flushing (hot flashes) and some aches. But once adjusted to the medicine, I have no side effects. The medicine has controlled my BP which is now 115/79 | F | 50 | 2 years 10 1X day | 1/3/2014 | 3 | Hbp | Worked for blood pressure however start having arm, shoulder, leg , thigh, hip, back stomach, head, chest pain something awful... Dr said stop taking it n that those r not symptoms 3 days off still feel the pain not as intense. Only med I'm taking.. | F | 36 | 3 weeks 20mg | 12/31/2013 | 1 | HBP | cough,dizziness,arm pain numbness,brain fog | doctors should listen to patients about there side effects | M | 61 | 5 years 20mg 1X day | 12/14/2013 | 4 | BP | At first this drug started to kick in about the 3rd day. That is about how long it takes to start to drop your blood pressure. After that, I started to notice that I was weak and ready to pass out if I tried to do any moving around. It took me a long time to figure out something very simple... the 20 mill pill was way to strong and wad trying to bring my blood pressure down too low. When I cut the pill in half, it was too strong. When I cut the pill into quarter pieces, I was able to have my blood pressure lowered and no side effects... But the only side effect I had was low blood pressure... Just not sure why the doc. put me on 20 mill to start! | TRY REDUCING YOUR DOSE | M | 55 | 120 days 5 1X day | 12/9/2013 | 1 | High blood pressure | Had swollen left knee with joint pain problem worsened when my dosage was increased to 10 mg from 5 mg. I thought it was an injury went to orthopedic specialist and had a MRI came back normal pain and swelling kept increasing so I had an exploratory scope knee surgery which nothing was found to be mechanically wrong with my knee. My orthopedic doctor was stumped about my symptoms since I am such an active healthy person. I started researching knee pain and Lisinopril and found others with the same symptoms. I convinced my primary doctor to take me off the lisinopril. Today is the third day and still no improvement I hope in start feeling a difference soon as my knee won't bend or straighten I am basically a cripple! This medication has made my life a living hell! Don't take it!!!! | F | 35 | 3 months 10 mg | 11/12/2013 | 1 | hypertension | I am a doctor. I can swear that this is the worse medicine I've ever known. 3 months after I started it I realized that I have trouble sleeping, depression, memory troubles and cough due to gastric reflux that I never had before. I stopped it 2 weeks ago but the side effects are still here. I am afraid it had permanent damage on my body. It should be banned by the FDA. NEVER EVER TAKE LISINIPRIL | M | 52 | 3 months 20 | 10/29/2013 | 1 | high blood pressure | Hair loss, two bald spot on each side my head | F | 43 | 8 years 40mg | 10/27/2013 | 1 | BP and PPCM | I am on a small dose however after a few months of being on this medication I have noticed hair loss, dry cough, depression, agitation and insomnia. I am also on a sporonolactone and Toporol and I was unsure if they were causing some of my symptoms. | F | 41 | 10 months 2.5 | 10/23/2013 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | F | 51 | 5 years 10 1X day | 10/9/2013 Patient History | 1 | High Blood Pressure | i have high blood pressure which generally tends to run around 135-140 over 78-82. I was on Enalapril prior to being switched to Lisinopril and never experienced any side effects. I have been on Lisinopril for 2 days now and I have been experiencing dizziness, heart flutters, feeling very tired and just a general feeling of anxiousness or nervousness. Also my eye is feeling strange, almost like it is swelling or something. I checked my blood pressure yesterday after experiencing the same symptoms and my blood pressure was 165/90 - it's never been that high. Now I am beginning to wonder if switching drugs was worth it... | F | 35 | 2 days 10mg 1X day | 10/8/2013 | 1 | High blood pressure | Tension and tightness in the back of my neck and back of lower head, tightness in throat. It felt like I was being choked to death. I had a numbness and tingling at the back of my tongue and throat, with trouble swallowing. This medicine is VERY dangerous!!!! DO NOT TAKE!!! | F | 50 | 35 days 5 mg 1X day | 9/16/2013 |
