Been to ER at least five times in the three months I took it. Lost half my hair in just two weeks. Severe dental decay in short time, non stop ear and sinus issues. Been off of it for two weeks now and feel at least half way back to normal. This stuff is pure poison. | F | 38 | 3 months 20mg 1X day | 8/18/2020 | 2 | Hypertension | Things went pretty well for awhile. Side effects are creeping in. Brain fog. Ringing in ears.acute anxiety attacks. Insomnia. Feeling like I'm shaking inside. Vision issues. Palpitations. Feeling of head fullness. GI issues. Dizziness. Feeling like I will faint. | Instead of my dr considering medication adjustments or changes, she had me try an anti anxiety med that was horrific and is having me undergo further cardiac work- ups. I felt I was going crazy until reading these reviews. | F | 53 | 8 months 10 mg 1X day | 8/9/2020 | 2 | Hypertension | First 2 weeks I just felt overall horrible and out of it. Started to feel a bit better for a couple of months then boom- weakness, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, worsening anxiety, palpitations, Racing heart, random gagging episodes and insomnia started. Side effects slowly emerged and have made my life miserable for months. My doctor just keeps telling me it's anxiety. I think it's this awful medicine.

I'm really worried about this drug because I've always taken care of my self untill I was assaulted and my daughter sexually assaulted. My stress and high blood pressure skyrocketed because I was wrongfully put in jail for 100 days and my 2 daughters were taken by cps. Jail doctor prescribed me isinopril and when I got out was sentenced a year probation and was now being accused of other bogus allegations by cps. I've gotten my daughters back by doing the impossible but now the lisinopril has taken a toll on me. i need to get off of it. my body has healed as much as it can from the assault; however I'm still trying for justice for my daughter. The system failed my daughters and I. I am grateful to have found a lawyer. In jail you have to take what they prescribed. I know my blood pressure rises from the pain and stress my body went through. when I ran out I felt my heart skip.That scared me. My trying to get of it. It's been really hard because I just won one | Bad drug! Has any one got off of lisinopril and how did you do it? | F | 41 | 8 months 30 mg 1X day | 8/4/2020 | 1 | Blood Pressure Regulating | Memory loss due to brain fog; SEVERE Choking on liquids as well as food, breathing+sudden clouded chest CT, insomnia, anorexia, SEVERE BRAIN FOG, SEVERE FATIGUE, Weakness, Malaise, Worsened already present bone joint pain.

After the trial 3 days later I had chest pain went to ER, the drs there reduced the med to 5mg. a week later ended up at the ER because of palpitations, all the tests were ok nothing wrong, three months later started having horrible back pain and weird muscle feeling tingling etc, seen Ortopedist, Neuro Surgeon, Quiropractor, been in physical theraphy for 2 months and the pain still there,I had MRI xrays nothing wrong. this medicine is poison I was doing great before taking it. now Im thinking in get rid of it on my own this medicine brought me too much pain | M | 51 | 8 months 5mg 1X day | 7/31/2020 | 1 | I aged 10 years overnight. | After 2 dosages my skin turned wrinkle and dry, it looked like a bad sunburn. Nothing helped, creams, aloe vera, collagen. I resign myself to the condition after 2 years of trying to reverse the damage. Horrible drug! Do not take it! Please! | F | 1X day | 7/28/2020 | 1 | High bp | Headache, eye problems, nausea, no energy | Horrible drug, lowered my bp so low that I got dizzy, hit my head and passed out. Will not take again | M | 55 | 5 days 10 | 6/9/2020 | 3 | High blood pressure | At first i only had itching & small plaque-like sore areas on face and scalp and then my eyes started swelling, enough to make my lower eyelashes stick straight out. I also developed mouth sores fairly quickly but they went away after awhile. My new Dr only r/x'd Me some allergy tablets to combat the reaction since it wasnt really affecting my airway.(i only took it for a week probly) and told Me to stay on the lisinopril which i reluctantly did. Since then ive had 2 increases in dose. Started at 10, went to 20, now at 30 (finally results 136/84) i have had many issues including severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, acid stomach,diarrhea, muscle aches especially in my legs and hips,bad belly pain with or without bms. Ive experienced hundreds&hundreds of full-on sweating episodes(could be from menopause but has gotten worse since starting med)and then also a dreadfull dry-ish cough which at times progresses into a choking type cough, with so far only near vomiting. *Probly Not Covid Guys* but It can literally takes my breath away its so bad!! And it lasts for 3-6 min, sometimes 10 even!!! So Now, this last visit yesterday, my Dr would like me to "consider" changing to something else called Losartan? Supposedly less side effects. Kinda sucks that She waited this long to decide to suggest an alternative med. ):( I miss my old Dr sooooooo much. | Would considering changing from lisinopril to Losartan but am seriously afraid of starting over with the potential for all new joysome side effects.. Im still deciding. | F | 49 | 8 months 30 mg | 5/31/2020 | 3 | Blood pressure high sometimes | Cough dizziness | F | 61 | 0 months 2.5 | 5/31/2020 | 1 | Heart failure | All over body swelling, ankles, wrists, knees, insomnia, depression , vision problems. SEVERE leg pain, brain fog. Stopped after 3 weeks. If you take this you will see side effects slowly creep up until you become a physical and mental wreck. Please be good to yourself and stay away. | F | 68 | 21 days 2.5 mg | 5/29/2020 | 1 | CAD | Serious knee pain. | I've never really had knee pain... Somehow I realized that the pain coincided with me starting to take Lisinopril. I quit the med... it took a while to recover. After a while I thought I would try it again... And the knee pain came back. | M | 63 | 1 months 2.5 mg | 5/18/2020 | 1 | Mild hbp | Bloodshot eyes in morn,heavy chest,hard to breathe at times.....This is a horrible med! I have never smoked and my chest felt like I had been a lifelong smoker.....nastyyyy med! | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS! | F | 50 | 2 months 10 mg 1X day | 5/7/2020 | 3 | high blood pressure | achiness..fatigue..cant get to sleep at night. | F | 68 | 3 months 10 mg | 4/19/2020 | 1 | High blood pressure | Blurred vision, pain in upper right arm, pain in right cheek and behind right eyes, swelling in left side of throat, pain in the upper inside of legs, pain in back between shoulder blades, headaches, cloudy thoughts, anxiety/depression, just and overwhelming feeling of illness in my body. | I started taking Lisinopril for hp when I started taking this med it took my body about 3weeks to adjust to it I felt tingling in the lower parts of my legs and feet, but after that I felt ok... then about 3weeks ago I started feeling the symptoms (stated above) slowly starting and getting worse about 5 days ago the left side of my throat started to swell and I said no more of this med, I have been off of Lisinopril for 5 days now and about 75% of my symptoms are gone and I feel like I new person.. I still need to talk with a doctor about a new med for my hp but right now I feel better than I have in the past month. P.S. my doctor told me that this was a very safe drug and he wouldn’t put me on it if he wasn’t 100% sure.. lol, as I am stuck in China right now do to the covid-19 outbreak and can not leave the Hubei province but when I get back to America I am going to have a little talk with that dumb doc... the only thing he told me to watch out for was yellowing of the eyes and skin plus dark urine.... My advice to everyone is to stay away from Lisinopril and do your own research on the meds you take don’t just listen to some doctor just because they have “MD” in front of their names.... | M | 41 | 3 months 5mg | 4/1/2020 | 3 | High blood pressure | Short of breath, weak.
