| 1 | high blood pressure | horrible muscle aches, fatigue, diarrhea, weakness,lack of motivation, excessive sweating. | This stuff made me ache and feel like I needed to sleep all the time. Physical activity of three or more hours would exhaust me to the point where when I spoke I sounded diminished. | M | 66 | 2 years 20 mg 1X day | 9/30/2018 | 1 | Blood pressure | dizziness, lethargy, lightheaded, blurred vision, anxiety, eye floaters | took this medicine for 4 months, multiple trips to hospital, thought i was losing my mind on this stuff. checked out by eye and ear doctor, got a MRI, ultrasound on neck and head. Everything came back fine. Stopped this medicine 12 days and noticed symptoms have got better but still dealing with vision problems and major anxiety. Curious how long these symptoms may last?? please email, thanks | M | 26 | 120 days 10mg 1X day | 8/15/2018 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | My father took this poison for several months. The side effects came on very slowly. Family members noticed increased coughing, tiredness, weakness especially in legs and a little confusion, but did not immediately connect what was happening to the drug. By month 3, my father started complaining of decreased urine output and kidney pain. He was checked for a possible UTI, but test came up negative. Then he began sleeping almost 24/7 and even when he was awake he was groggy and just not himself. He was admitted to the hospital and given a multitude of tests which all came up normal for his age. Doctors had no answers for his issues, but I made the connection to lisinopril and the doctors took him off of it at my request. Now three weeks post lisinopril use, my father is still experiencing some of the side effects- irritated eyes, itchy scalp, coughing, tiredness and extreme weakness. Before taking this drug, my father was very social....he could walk, talk and even drive. Now, | I want to help my father get his life back. My father's blood pressure is BETTER now that he is off of lisinopril. We are giving him zinc, selenium and vitamin C, lots of clean water and a healthy diet in hopes of getting him well. I have read stories of other lisinopril victims who have healed themselves with zinc. If anyone knows answers to any of the following questions, please contact me. Thank you! If you cured yourself of lisinopril poisoning using zinc, how long did it take (weeks? months? longer?)? How much zinc did you take? What kind of zinc? Are there any other things you have done that you felt helped you recover from lisinopril? Anything that helped your state of mind (if you had any issues like depression or just not caring)? | M | 85 | 90 days 20mg 1X day | 8/15/2018 | 1 | Lisinopril | Headaches, weird pains on chest legs arms choulders neck, weakness, like faint , blurry vision, my stomach is a totally mess, throat dry and fell like scratched make cough so bad. | I am still taking it but I am going to stop this crap. If anyone identify itself with these problems let me know. | M | 29 | 2 years 10 mg | 8/6/2018 | 1 | High BP | Weakness, Back & Neck Ache, Sinus Congestion, Flushing, Headaches, Muscle & Joint Pain, Tight throat, Breathing Irregularities... and more | Symptoms started at different times over the period I was taking Lisinopril so I never connected them, sort of snuck up on me. Started feeling so bad and hunted for reasons on the internet and everything pointed back to the drug. It is the only one I take. Consulted my doctor he defended it but said stop taking it and prescribed another drug which I am not taking either. I have been off it for 1 week and all symptoms are dissipating, some quicker than others but I am feeling human again. Also I started dieting and exercising since I have been on it and have lost considerable weight and monitoring of my blood pressure it is now actually at an acceptable level for my age. I think it was staying higher because of all the constant pain and discomfort I have been in, a horrible loop I was stuck in. The longer I was on the drug the more my dose increased because of the increase in discomfort. Stay away this stuff is pure poison! My symptoms were so slight at first and escalated and compounded until I became debilitated thought I was going to die soon.I hope they continue to go away and there are no long term effects. | M | 63 | 2 years 40 MG 1X day | 7/26/2018 | 1 | High BP | Chest pain, very heavy arms, weakness, fogginess, flushing, dizziness, blurry vision, intense anxiety, tight throat and neck, difficulty talking, high blood pressure and heart rate | I thought Amlodipine was the worst drug I’ve ever experienced. I was wrong, Lisinopril wins hands down and I’m a Type 1 diabetic and have tried a lot. I took one dose in the morning and later that day felt like I was having a massive heart attack. I became dizzy, flushed and hot, my arms grew heavy and weak, and my neck and throat began tightening up. My BP went up to 180/120 and my heart rate to 150. I went to the ER where they gave me morphine and Ativan and it still took hours for my blood pressure and heart rate to come down and for me to feel closer to normal. There is no way you could pay me to try this nightmare of a drug again. It should be banned for its horrible side effects. | M | 47 | 1 days 2.5 | 7/9/2018 | 1 | Hypertension | Flu-cold like symtoms, sinus congestion, severe frontal lobe headache, loss of smell and taste, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations, trouble breathing | brought BP down, but is not worth these side effects. I'm terrified I will not regain my sense of smell and taste. A terrible product, stay away from Lisinopril | F | 52 | 6 weeks 20mg 1X day | 7/7/2018 | 1 | High bp | I get eye floaters, dizziness and light headedness, don't recommend to anyone | F | 32 | 12 months 20 mg | 6/28/2018 | 5 | High blood pressure | Extreme fatigue, Tachycardia, ringing in ears, anxiety, headache, diarrhea, fever, feeling paralyzed in legs. Could not function so weak. | I took Lisinopril from Sandoz Pharmaceuticals for two years with few symptoms. In April 2018 Sandoz stopped making it and Lupin Pharmaceiticals replaced them. The first dose my heart flip flopped and I got sicker every day until tachycardia sent me to the ER. I stopped taking it three days ago and am taking Losaratan. No more horrific symptoms. Before starting the Losaratan I took a Lisinopril pill I found from Sandoz and the result was remarkable. I had no side effects and felt like a million dollars! Lupin needs to look into their Lisinopril without delay! | F | 69 | 2 years 10mg | 5/16/2018 | 1 | high blood pressure | Severe allergies,dark urine, not urinating enough, dizziness, ear ringing, sleeplessness, pain in body | I am in absolute agony just now learning what all Lisinopril has been doing to my body. It's been like a nightmare. All of these body changes and weakness over time and wondering WHAT IS HAPPENING!? It has to be this drug. It has definitely aged me before my time. The snake venom blew me away and THEN KNOWING that our DOCTORS KNOW exactly what they are giving us. I'm in almost disbelief over this information and will diligently state and make my claims. | F | 49 | 11 years 20 mg a d | 4/16/2018 | 1 | high blood pressure | Much the same as everyone else.Felt horrible.No energy.Couldnt sleep etc. | Does your doctor really know what he is doing?I found a second opinion on "You Tube" search "The TRUTH about cholesterol and blood pressure" by Dr John Bergman | M | 60 | 3 weeks 1X day | 3/30/2018 | 1 | hbp | dizziness,slurred speech,blurred vision,ataxia,digestive problems,tremors,numbness,and lack of coordination | Lisinopril contains an Ace Inhibitor that's linked to side effects,especially in African Americans. | F | 53 | 2 years 20mg. | 3/27/2018 | 2 | Currently for Hb | I recently in the past month have been feeling weak at times but dizzy getting really bad anxiety attacks and just feeling nauseous, with slight headaches. Just starting to cough the past month or so. Didn't get Hb til pregnancy 6 years ago. | F | 42 | 4 years 5 mg 2x D | 3/21/2018 | 1 | Hypertension | Horrible Stuff Lisinopril...... I felt Like a zombie. I told my Doctor, and he said to stay on it. My Legs were cramping, memory loss, felt high anxiety, brain was always in a fog state, .... 2 other friends of mine were also put on Lisinopril, and their hair started falling out very severely..... Please do not take this drugs or other BP drugs... just go on a Vegan Vegetarian diet...... | My Cardiologist said I would die in one week. that was a year ago. I am still alive one year later.............. He said I would need stents, open heart surgery ( $150,000), Angioplasty ( $25,000 to explore what arteries are clogged), Stents ( $25,00 for one), what a joke..... So, both my Doctors put me on 5 BP meds, including Lisinopril. I also learned my Doctors as all doctors get a kick back for every prescription they write, and kickbacks on all refill. No wonder they want to push these meds........ I fired both doctors..... I bought DR. Neal Barnards books, followed his advice and Vegan diet. I fired both my Doctors, and stopped taking all BP drugs after 3 weeks. I have lost 56 pounds in one year, and you know what I am still alive, and feel much better without these Doctor Charlatans and their Drugs,and operations ..... If you want to live a long time, do not go to Doctors, unless you need them for a broken leg or something simple. Doctors know nothing about Nutrition.... the majority of them are drug pushers and crooks, not all of them, but most of them .................. I also took Dr Schulze, Herbal medicine. He is on the Web, all natural herbs that work. He also recommends a vegan diet... Read "China Study " by Campbell. Dr. Neal Barnard - all his books are good. Dr. Esselstyn - all books are good. Dr. Roy Chowdhury - on youtube. great source of info ... | M | 3 days 20mg 2X day | 3/8/2018 | 1 | Blood pressure | I was a walking zombie. I had no energy, I kept falling asleep. I was freezing cold. I would describe this stuff as poison. I weened myself off it. The swelling was unbearable. I could go on and on with the side effects. | F | 67 | 4 months 20mg. 2X day | 3/3/2018 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Triggered easily into violent behavior. My husband punched me after starting this drug over packing for a camping trip and had major self control issues. Violent unrecognizable behavior after 20 years of a beautiful marriage. | I'm not sure if the hormone inhibitor causes this in others. A healthy 45 year old marathoning runner should not need this. Heart pounds, cough, bad attitude and gloomy. Not smiling and laughing anymore like he used to. Details are about the patient. | M | 45 | 9 months 2.5MG 1X day | 1/24/2018 | 1 | High blood pressure | After three days of taking this drug, I started experiencing severe muscle cramps throughout my body. I had abdominal cramping so bad I went to the ER, sure I had appendicitis. I didn’t, but the cramping in my abdomen continued for 4 straight days. I could not eat, could hardly sleep, and lost 7 lbs. the cramping continued in my legs, feet, returning in my abdomen and finally moving to my chest, neck, and sides. I had more bouts of low appetite as well as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. At my follow up with my doctor, my blood pressure had not improved, so she switched me to benicar. Within 3 days of stopping the lisinopril, all my new symptoms stopped. None of the literature I read mentioned muscle cramps. | This is an inexpensive medicine so I think that is why most doctors prescribe it first. However I dread to think how my quality of life would have been permanently diminished had I not switched medications. Also, my father was prescribed this drug and it caused his bp to go up. | F | 38 | 2 months 20 mg | 1/24/2018 | 1 | High BP | Constantly hot. Sweating and feeling sick. Insomnia, headaches, hoarseness | F | 53 | 3 months 5mg | 1/9/2018 | 1 | hypertension | Took it for one year from a Canadian mfg with no issues other than occasional dizziness. Nearly all major drug chains have switched to Lupin/India and that's when my problems started. rash, cough, tension headache, odd taste and sensation roof of mouth, and one episode of mild swelling of throat. | Take this poison at your own peril; the side effects can show up any time. At my age I'd rather have mild hypertension than to continue to take this poison. | M | 65 | 18 months 10mg 1X day | 12/2/2017 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | I have memory loss from taking lisinopril. I didn't realize it was from the lisinopril until my short term memory got so bad I needed to find the source. | F | 48 | 10 years 15 | 11/11/2017 |
