Having huge memory problems since taking this drug. Went out in the cold and could not remember where I ALWAYS put my gloves.
Quit 2 weeks ago. Better, but difficulty remembering things. I will take my chances without this medication.
It's been about four months since quitting Lisinopril. I am getting better. But, still have mental mistakes. Short term memory problems. Still not the sharp person I was. I know that the Doctors, Medical Establishment and "people in the know", know NOT to take this stuff. I have elected not to take any synthetic, Dr. prescribed, pharmaceutical company products.
What I don't understand is how SOME people do NOT have to do not notice these effects.
I cannot see one human NOT having them.
I have been prescribed this drug and am due to take my first 2.5 mg on sunday evening. Now, after reading all this I am seriously doubting whether I will take it. Surely there must be a natural way to reduce BP..... has anybody tried Resperate?
View 3 RepliesIs there anyone else who takes lisinopril and is hypoglycemic.
I am to finally start a low dose today but had a drop to 47 last night- Think I had too much marshmallow root tea for interstitial cystitis. I know I cannot take it when I go on lisinopril. Not sure I should take it after the drop last night. Concerned that I have all info before I start it.
This is a battle - I tried toprol and it dropped my sugar to 67 and an awful hypo attack.
We are trying to find some pill (my PCP And I ) that does not cause leg edema as verapamil does.
I was started on Lisinopril and had a terrible cough so doc switched me to 25mg Losartan. I have been taking it since January 11th. the drug works well as far as no side effects but it seems like BP is higher than when I was on Lisinopril and my numbers are all over the board.

View 1 RepliesI find this medication awful , it is ruining my life, I can't sleep as I am so restless, when I do finally doze off I am up peeing. I have swollen legs and ankles which is putting pressure on the arthritis in my feet. I crashed the car two weeks ago while having a 'blood pressure moment' i.e a brief blackout - I hate it and am trying to establish what the drug does - it reduces BP and the risk of stroke and heart attack but to what degree.
I am almost at the stage of get up get kids ready for school etc, go to work come home cook diner, wash up etc bed by 9 up at 7 I have no energy. Doc completely unsympathetic says you don't want it don't take it.
Several weeks ago, having been on Lisinopril for around two years I suffered this hacking dry cough. Thinking it was a cold I left it but it never really went away, in fact it worsened and I had difficulty sleeping, having to prop myself up at a certain angle to stop the coughing.
I visited the doc who immediately diagnosed it as Lisinopril Cough. It's apparently a lot more common than you think. It usually takes a week or two to clear up after you stop taking them (there are many alternatives available) although in some patients it can take months or more. A friend who had been taking it for a few weeks also had this side effect. I found by breathing was a lot better after and my joints ached less. Two more side effects that are listed.
Googling revealed that the cough is a very common side effect. There are hundreds of reports posted on this condition. It could be 35-50% of the people taking it who suffer the cough, some after a couple of weeks of taking it, some after months or years.
I can not remember what I did in 1996. I have researched my personal papers but nothing can clearly tell me anything concrete.
View 1 RepliesIm 19 years old and my memory has gotten real bad. I forget just about everything if someone tells me to do something I forget what they told me the next minute. Or I just forget the whole thing until they bring it back up or ask me again. I always seem to forget important things. Now its kind of affecting me at work if a coworker of mine asks me to do something I always forget. Im constantly lost in space alot. Is this something to worry about or just a really bad memory?

View 1 RepliesSo basically I'm a teen girl. Over the past 2 years I have been having these symptoms and they have been more apparent these past days. My anxiety has been raising and there are times when I'm super happy and then a second later I get super depressed. I'll get paranoid and scared of I don't even know. I have terrible memory and can't remember a lot of things. My parents yell at me for not doing things they asked me to do, but I don't even remember. My teacher was crying one day and I smiled at her. I know I shouldn't do that, but that's how I reacted. I'll hear things like whispers and someone saying my name, but that's all. I can't perceive any actual words, just sound. One time I thought someone had said my name and blew into my ear. I've also seen thing that I know aren't there. For a while I just thought to myself everyone has those kind of moments so it's fine. But then yesterday I thought I saw an actual person standing there. I was so scared and told myself is wasn't real and it was gone. Then today I thought I saw a kid in the parking lot, but when I looked again they weren't there. Just like I thought there was something on my friend today, but when I blinked it was gone. I'm so scared now that its going to happen one time and it's not going to be gone after I blink. That one day I'll actually be able to talk to the voices. Then I even question if it was real or just imaginary so many times everyday. They only thing that helps is to listen to music during the day. I'm also losing interest in a bunch of things I used to love. I would also self harm as punishment. I don't even know what for, but I just think I have too. My grandfather has schizophrenia also.
View 2 RepliesJust five days to go to op day of 5th October and I am getting things ready for when I come home afterwards.
I decided to go into the spare room for a few weeks so as me and the hubs do not disturb each other. Was making the bed up and wondered whether I should leave the memory foam topper on. It is quite a thick one and the mattress underneath is pretty firm.
What is best? Can anyone share their experience either way re comfort? Anything else I should know other than using a slippy sheet and lots of pillows ? It is a double bed and we have moved it so I can get in an out either side.
Oh and I don't have a frame so just on crutches.. Does it help getting in and put if I have something to help me stand?
I am coeliac and my GP would like me to try Lisinopril for my unacceptably high blood pressure. However neither he, the pharmacist nor myself have been able to discover if the drug is gluten free. We are also concerned that I have had severe allergic reactions (SJS) to ACE inhibitors in the past.
View 3 RepliesI have been put on these along with Indapamide 2.5mg for blood pressure and fluid. Has anyone with arthritis notice the pain worse since going on these tablets.
View 1 RepliesWould like to hear from anyone who is or has taken this tablet. I'm hoping these are better than last one's felt really dizzy and depressed on my last prescription.
View 10 RepliesI have been on Lisinopril for the last fortnight and am experiencing only minor reductions in BP which was very high . I am very depressed that this drug is not working especially as the side effects are quite marked ie ..extreme tiredness. Anyone else out there had similar experience ? Did a higher dos eventually get the pressure down?
View 1 Repliesmy doctor put me on lisinopril and ever since i have had a dry cough. i thought it was due to post nasal drip but now that i read the side effects i have my doubts. i was wondering if it would be wise to try losartan.
View 3 RepliesI've been on Lisinopril 20 mg. twice per day for more than 5-7 years now and works well on my HB. However, recently I'm getting mild headache along with swirling-feeling once awhile. I took on HB monitor(Reli-on) this morning and it was surprisingly high, more than 140 when I administered HB monitor twice.
My Dr. appt. is two months away and the Lisinopril 20mg. rx has two more refills.
Just wonder '2 tabs' Lisinopril 20mg. is low-dosage? Normally, what dosage most of HB folks have been on?
I was taking atenolol for about 14 years for hypertension. I thought it was causing me some weight gain and depression. I asked my MD to switch me to something else, and she gave me lisinopril. I noticed a cough right away that even woke me up at night, as well as an increased pulse/heart rate. These side effects bothered me so much that I asked to go back to atenolol. Like magic my pulse rate went back down, into 70's and 80's instead of 90 and above. I even noticed a lower heart rate at the gym during workouts! Plus, my BP is lower than it was on lisinopril. I have read that atenolol is an older class of drug and newer ones work better, but I am happy with this for now and I don't want to switch again! I am 58 years old and work out 5X a week. My diastolic BP is still a bit on the high side even with atenolol, but systolic is fine.
