| 1 | doc told me too | never have had the cough. But this crappy drug is crap. i can stop it for weeks and nothing changes. its mostly physcological i think. my advice...dont start this crap! it'll f you up in the long run. | M | 51 | 10 years 20mg 1X day | 2/2/2012 | 5 | high BP | slight niggling cough. I keep a water bottle by my bed at night | I have basically had few side effect from taking this stuff. I sure don't want to have a stroke! dr told me long-term rating for this is good vs. other BP meds. About all of my Boomer girlfriends are now on BP meds, quite shockng. Are we all falling apart at the same rate? dr. told me diet alone would not control my BP. | F | 57 | 6 years 10 mg 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 1 | HBB | Extremely dizzy, feeling of constanting on the verge of falling, depressed, feeling of hopelessness. Strange feeling in my heart. no balance, heart cant relax. | Medicine is horrible, side effects keeps you from functioning. | F | 48 | 10 days 10 2X day | 1/3/2012 | 1 | High blood pressure | Insomnia coupled with waking fits of extreme anxiety. Severe muscle weakness in hands and arms. Tingling / numbness in arms and legs. Dizziness when standing. Metallic taste in mouth. | After only one day of taking lisinopril, anxiety was so extreme had to be prescribed ativan to control anxiety until the lisinopril was out of my system. My doctor took me off immediately and switched BP meds. | F | 35 | 3 days 10 MH 1X day | 11/24/2011 | 2 | hypertension | After several months on this medication my right eye began to twitch. This occurred mostly in the muscle below my eye. Symptoms came and went. Worsened when tired or under stress. Reduced my lisinophil medication to every other day after reading it could be an underlying factor. Almost immediately I noticed an appreciable improvement. Improvement has lasted three months. | I took it for 2 years. | M | 64 | 10 1X day | 10/24/2011 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Excess mucus (cough) at night, headaches, nasal congestion (I was taking afrin everynight just to breath), loss of sensation (I could feel the pressure of someone touching me but I didn't really "feel" it), sexual issues (like I said earlier, no sensation). | Some times it worked, other times it did nothing for my bp. The best thing I did was lose 150# and stopped taking all my pills ( Lisinopril, plavix and htz). The side effects went away and I started getting some feeling back in my skin. I realized this pill was my issue because I only restarted it because I was going back to the doctors and he didnt know I had stopped taking them. The issues came back. I probably wouldnt have connected the side effects with the pill if it wasnt for me noticing the loss of sensation. | F | 33 | 10 years 20 MG 1X day | 10/9/2011 | 3 | Very rapid heart rate and extreme fatigue with only moderate exertion in moderate sun. | I started Lisinopril at age 59. I was in very good shape and generally could outwork a lot of workers half my age. Over the next two years I started noticing that I became physically exhausted much sooner than before with moderate physical exertion. I wrote it off to getting old fast when only trying to work hard a couple of times a month. At age 59 I used to be able to work hard all day outside (like getting in firewood). Now at 61, I had pretty much decided I couldn't do that work anymore because about 3 months ago, I had to stop and let my heart rate slow down about every 10 minutes when cutting wood in about 80 degree heat. It took about 3 1/2 hours to do the work I normally would have easily done in an hour or so. After resting for the 1/2 hr drive home, eating something, taking a shower and laying in bed for 15 minutes, my heart rate was still 100 bpm. I then tried an experiment and tapered off the lisinopril over a two week period. It was amazing. This week I put up firewood two days in a row in high 80 degree heat and was able to work like I used to. Even though I would get winded from the exertion, at no time did my heart rate become a problem, and at no time did I get physically fatigued. All of that was clearly a lisinopril side effect. | M | 61 | 2 years 20 mg 1X day | 8/19/2011 | 2 | itchy eyes, cough, dizziness, headache, sensitive mouth that turns numb when you eat or drink certain things, blurry vision | F | 33 | 67 days 20mg 1X day | 8/16/2011 | 5 | high blood pressure | none | I am very sensitive to medications. My Doctor tried about 7 other BP medications on me and they all made me sick. Lisinopril is the only one I can take without complications. My blood pressure went from 140 over 94 to 115 over 75. This medication has helped me greatly. | F | 52 | 2 years 5 mg 1X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | Control high blood pressure | Dizziness, upset stomach, weak and lifeless. | I've never been allergic to anything and have taken quite a few drugs in my lifetime, but, I have never had a reaction to any like this stuff. I will never use Lisinopril again. Bad stuff. | M | 70 | 2 weeks not sure 1X day | 8/3/2011 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Mental fogginess, fatigue, dizziness, swelling of eyes, hands and feet. | Lisinopril seemed to be working very well in lowering my blood pressure, but I felt horrible from the first day I started it! The dizziness, fatigue and fogginess were very troubling. The 2nd day I took it, my eyes felt like sand was in them to the point I could hardly open them...started using eyedrops and that helped but my eyes still felt odd. The third day, within an hour after taking it, I experienced the swelling of my eyelids, hands and feet. I took a mega dose of Benedryl and contacted my Dr. the next morning. She gave me a steroid shot to counteract the allergy and changed me to Norvasc. So far only a little bit of dizziness with it, but its only been 1 day. | F | 52 | 3 days 5 MG 1X day | 7/25/2011 | 1 | high blood pressure | rappid heart beat dizzy feeling faint headache low mood feelig i will callapes .extreme angziaty . | very scary . | 67 | 208 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/20/2011 | 1 | blood pressure | Extreme fatigue, dry cough, slow gut motility causing constipation, brain fog, weak muscles, dislocated and strained joints. It hurt to walk. 3 days after starting, toes separated from foot. 3 days later, wrist and elbow pulled apart carrying groceries. 3 days later hip joint dislocated walking in the garden, stepping on a stone. Not a big enough stone to have been the real cause. Spent an entire summer disabled. When hip finally healed and I was mobile again, when going back to routine, shoulder pulled apart cleaning gutters.....no real reason. Almost every 3 days I was straining a joint or getting injured......for 18 months. Bones in hands separated doing housework and cutting vegetables. I was crippled and in pain. Didn't touch my blood pressure. | Since stopping Lisinopril, I have had no joint injuries while maintaining usual routine/active gardening, home maintenance, exercise. It took about a week for my digestive system to get back to normal and it has remained normal since stopping. I'm afraid to try anything else. It seemed the medication relaxed my muscles and joints so much that they were giving out. I could feel the weakness generally while on the medication. Seemed like everything took extra effort/energy. | F | 61 | 18 months 10 mg 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | high plood pressure | constant caughing ,sometimes gasping for air , feeling of passing out , gagging. | After I stopped the medication, it took 4 more weeks to stop the caughing . | F | 68 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X day | 6/1/2011 | 1 | blood pressure | originally lightheadedness eventually over the years developed dry itchy skin on hands and the past month a persistent dry cough that won't go away. Had two episodes of lips swelling up , second time went to immediate care doc looked at records and felt pretty sure it was the lisinopril. Changed my bp, gave me prednisone and told to take benedryl. # days off and my cough has lessened but not one away and I actually feel a little better | wish I had researched this years ago as some of the issues i have had are listed as side effects of lisinopril | M | 42 | 5 years 10mg 1X day | 3/30/2011 | 4 | high blood pressure | Lightheaded, slightly drowsy | Along with moderate exercise and watching my diet, this has brought my BP down from roughly 130/90 to 110/75. | F | 37 | 2 years 5 mg 1X day | 3/28/2011 | 1 | High Blood pressure | Lisinopril imported from Lupin Pharmaceuticals in India, needs to be taken off the market. The American Med. Association needs to get involved. This drug causes me Lethargy, anxiety, decreased urine output which destroys the kidneys, cough, tachycardia, chest pain, dry mouth, itchy, burning eyes, my whole personality has changed from being happy to being tired and depressed, since I cannot get the Teva brand of Lisinopril anymore, had no side effects with Teva's Lisinopril, but the drug stores want to save money and buy the cheap Lupin brand, there needs to be a class action lawsuit against Lupin Pharmac. which distributes this in India manufactured drug to the innocent Hypertension sufferers, greed is the root of all evil please, before you take any medication, find out where it is manufactured | Where can I get the Teva brand of Lisinopril? | F | 72 | 45 days 10 mg 1X day | 3/15/2011 | 1 | Hi blood pressure | I didn't have any initial side effects when taking a 10 MG dose, but it didn't control my blood pressure. After the doctor changed the dosage to 20 MG I developed a severe chronic cough, and it took several weeks of hunting down information before I figured out that this was the medication that was causing it. | This poison should never be perscribed to anyone for any reason. After several weeks of quittin this toxin, the cough has finally gone away. The FDA needs to look at this stuff a little closer. | M | 53 | 1 years 20 MG 1X day | 2/4/2011 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | I've had few side effects. There was some light-headedness and stomach queasiness at first, but once my dosage was cut in half, from 10 mg to 5 mg, those improved. I also have a slight cough occasionally, but never for too long. | My BP went from 175/95 to 110/68 in a very short time on this drug and has remained low on the reduced dose. My husband is also taking it at the higher dose and has done very well also. | F | 60 | 1 years 5 mg 1X day | 1/26/2011 | 2 | lower blood pressure | tired, weak, mental fatigue, difficulty sleeping | M | 71 | 2 weeks 10mg 1X day | 12/14/2010 |
