| 1 | Minor hypertension | SHORT VERSION: Don't do it. Just ask for something else. Not worth the dizziness, anxiety, pain/discomfort & shortness of breath - I'd rather have high bp. If you are having these, stop taking lisinopril & they'll disperse after a few days. Bad drug. |||||| LONGER VERSION: I am 28 years old, 5'10 & 190 lbs., fairly athletic/active, have type 1 diabetes but am otherwise healthy, don't drink/drug recreationally and almost never have bad med reactions. I take a low dose of methadone in the early am (~5:00) & occasional 5mg zolpidem for sleep; no OTC's besides occasional APAP & Tums. I have never once had a reaction, interaction, or uncomfortable/undesirable experience with any of them, mixed or alone. Was prescribed this for a minor bp jump; doc said she picked this cause it's well-known, safe & unlikely to cause a reaction/interaction (I strongly disagree). ****************MY EXPERIENCE*******************: Took *one time* (late afternoon) and within ~20 mins it began...Dizziness, trouble keeping my balance, mod-severe anxiety, nausea & sharp abdominal pain/cramping, and perceived shortness of breath (sensation; no actual breathing difficulty). This has persisted into the next day & I have not re-dosed (nor will I). I had/am having other symptoms that I've omitted because while I assume they are related, it's possible to attribute them to something else: sore throat, random aches & pains, and others. ________ ...So y | Everyone reacts differently to meds and you should talk to your doc if/when you have a problem with a prescription. That being said, don't be afraid to disagree and/or get another opinion. MD's are people and people - even highly educated ones - make mistakes. | M | 28 | 1 days 2.5mg 1x/d | 5/19/2017 | 1 | High blood pressure | Coughing | Bad stuff | M | 50 | 1 years 10mg | 5/7/2017 | 1 | High blood pressure | I only took ONE dose of this drug and experienced burning pain in legs, tremors, total inability to sleep, feeling feverish but no actual fever, mindblowing pain in joints, joint pain where I don't usually have it and I have arthritis and fibromyalgia, general all-over sick feeling, dark stools with diarrhea, bad neck and shoulder pain with stiff muscles. This drug is hell and after only one dose!! I still have a couple days to go before I am rid of this drug! The amazing thing is my sister has taken it for a long time and does just fine! | F | 68 | 1 days 20 mg | 5/6/2017 | 1 | hypertension | all noted. | As an MD, I suggest the FDA pull it of the market. The Pharmaceutical Companies are insensitive to this drug having one of the highest numbers of side effects and drug interactions know in the industry. | M | 79 | 0 years | 5/4/2017 | 2 | High Blood Pressure | Anxiety, depression, joint pain. Anxiety like I've never had. Almost delusional anxiety, slight paranoia. I stopped taking the medication, and within a week it was like a black cloud lifted. Joint pain, specifically weak knees. Seems to make me more susceptible to athletic injury. Side effects go away when I stop taking the pills in a couple of weeks, and reoccur when I start again. The worst medication I've ever taken as far as side effects. | M | 48 | 60 days 5 1X day | 5/2/2017 | 1 | Low ejection fraction | Aches, weak, headache, no energy and dizzy | F | 52 | 0 months 10 | 4/29/2017 | 1 | Blood pressure | Swollen fingers Draining nose Congested nose Fever | F | 43 | 2 days 10mg | 4/24/2017 | 1 | I have a very severe cough.

Also feel weak very tired. | Just this past Month I have been in and out of the Hospital. Even right now as I'm typing this I am having breathing problems. I may go to the Hospital yet again. This Medication is dangerous! | M | 53 | 2 years 40mg | 4/23/2017 | 1 | Essential hypertension | Hives, Lightheaded, Head fog, Dry cough | Side effects seem to vanish two to three days after stopping drug.

By the time I went made it to emergency, I could not breath. The doctors did not know what to do. I spent 6 days in intensive care. Almost died. A year and a half later, I am having trouble walking. I cannot sit, stand, or sleep for a long period of time. Lisinopril should be taken off the market. | M | 57 | 2 years 20mg 1X day | 3/19/2017 | 1 | Blood press was 151/72 | Dull Headaches, tired, fatigue. Some coughing | I was playing golf.

I ran into a friend and she noticed how different I was, then we realized it was this horrible drug. Don't take it! Ruined my life. I use to exercise and handle many tasks and be happy.with this drug, depression, exhaustion, pain. | F | 54 | 1 years | 3/13/2017 | 1 | High blood pressure | Lightheaded, dizzy, heart racing and pounding, chest pains | I started taking this after I figured out the terrible episodes of the above mentioned side effects that had me going to the ER multiple times, to a neurologist, a cardiologist and spending the week at our hospital being observed for seizures, were being caused by my bp med metroprolol. The doctor prescribed this and I took it for two days and had one of the worst "episodes" I've had. Didn't take it the next two days but the 3rd day by evening my bp was high so I took half a dose (10 mg). Within an hour I was having such a bad episode of the above referenced side effects that I almost went to the hospital, even knowing that it was probably the linisopril. I thought for sure I was dying. Will not take this again. Would rather have the symptoms of high blood pressure than ever feel like this again! | F | 45 | 4 days 20 mg | 3/12/2017 | 5 | Hypertension (borderline) | None | No bad side effects. In fact, I haven't had a kidney stone since I started taking this med (might be coincidence). I am also an avid runner and have seen race time improvements since I started taken this med (also might be coincidence). | M | 53 | 5 years 20 1X day | 3/9/2017 |
