I have been taking Vasotec for over 12 years and it has been very effective and I feel great. When the generic came out my doctor had me try it and I felt terrible and went back on Vasotec. Now my insurance isn't going to cover the Vasotec and I'm not sure what I am going to do. The insurance finally said they would cover it starting in Jan. 2010 for one year but I'm not sure what I am going to do in the meantime. Can't afford the over $100 for the Vasotec for a month.

Take vasotec every day with other medication - i.e. 81 grm aspirin, levothyroxin (under active thyroid), lipitor(cholestral), Xxatral(enlarged prostate)and have no interaction problems - - just for your information.

I have been taking vasotec for 17 years without a problem. I can still have 1 or maybe 2 cups of coffee without raising my BP.

I STOPED TAKING IT. IT CAUSED ME ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION, AND I DID NOT KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED UNTIL I CONSULTED WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR. I AM NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE, AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FLUSHING IT OUT OF MY BODY. I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, ALMOST FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!1

I was on a generic for this drug: Enalapril. Took it at bedtime. Middle of night had swelling of lip and tongue first day. But continued and had some minor stomach gas/bloating and sometimes feeling of rapid heart beat. On the eleventh day I had swelling of tongue, lip and closing of throat due to allergic reaction to it. 2 Benedryl dissolving tabs took care of it. But now am off. Too bad I had this reaction because my BP went from 160/95 to 118/80. If you aren't allergic to it, I think it generally would be helpful.Read More Read Less

I was put on this medication for high blood pressure. The morning after taking the first dose of this medication I woke up with the left side of my lip and cheek swollen (which is a side effect of this medicine). I was immediately taken off and put on another medication. I was really disappointed in this development because with this medicine I did not feel drugged and tired like I was on the first medication. Also my blood pressure was fantastic.

I have been taking this drug for about 15 years. It does help to control my blood pressure and I haven't noticed any side effects.

My pressure fluctuates, and I can't seem to get it to stabilize. The upper number is often 145-155, and the lower stays around 75-85. While this is not terribly high, there are times when both numbers will "skyrocket" for awhile. Fortunately, the medication seems to be helping with that situation.
