I started this medication 4 months ago and it worked very well in dropping my BP to a great rate. Unfortunatley, 2 months into taking the medication I started having very bad side effects. Dry mouth, sweating, diarrhea, leg cramps, severe dizziness, cold clamy feet, cough that is very bad at night. A month ago my doctor thought I was having panic/anxiety attacks and treated me with medication for ...

Medication doesn't work well for ethnic back grounds/blk women/rare side effects not listed it will swell your intestine and make it feel like some thing is twisting inside.

I toke the generic version of this and it did lower my blood pressure, however I have to urinate way too often (some vaginal discomfort) and sometimes cannot prevent the urine from "starting before I am in the restroom". I have stopped taking it.

This drug worked very quickly for me dropping my blood pressure 30 points sustained within a month. I am very pleased and feel more energetic. I do not have that 'tired' feeling all the time. I am walking briskly 3 miles a day now and do not feel winded.I have no adverse reactions.

I was advised to go off of this version of Lisinopril and go to the one without hydrochlorothiazide (I was told this is a version of Arsenic?!) When I tried the same strength without it was not effective for me so after a month we switched back. I am curious about the long term effects that I may not have bee told about?

I just started taking this drug 4 days ago. I am experiencing the dizziness and seems like faster heartbeat. I have had the cough and found that chewing gum makes it stop, immediately.

Nauseous for the first two months. Have developed dry cough/throat that I experience in spurts. Not daily. Great for high blood pressure.

This drug made me extremely nauseous for 11-12 hours a day. Could not work, barely sit up. Took blood pressure down but I was apparently allergic to it. Nausea was extreme and exactly what a friend described as an awful chemo treatment. Took for 5 days, even a 75% drop in dosage still made me just as sick. I did not read side effects and warnings until 5th day to make sure any effects were the medicine and not me just thinking I had side effects.
