BP now 108/70. If you experience bad side effects lik...

I have had good kidney function since being on Lisinopril. As a good side effect, my blood pressure has been normal since I started using Lisinopril also.

w/in one month developed dry cough w/in 3 mos. developed burning sensation on tongue - ability to taste anything worsened also heartburn-like pain in stomach - not eased w/prescrip. meds. Stopped drug - MD prescribed Zocar - no side effects after one month. The neuropathy comes and goes however - no promise that it will disappear completely. Why is it that these particular side-effects are never mentioned by medication sites? thankfully found info after much searching on internet. Found out this drug may cause a neuropathy Read More Read Less

It took me 6 months on this prescription to realize that it was causing me to have a dry cough. The cough just got progressively worst. After reading the reviews in Web Md, I will not take this drug anymore. The drug has given me a persistent dry cough and can't sleep at night, no energy and possibly other problems. Don't take this drug. Period. Just tell your doctor to give you another. I am switching back to Benicar for blood pressure control. Never had a problem with Benicar.

Believe it is causing me to suffer extreme body heat & cold sweats which begin mid morning, lasting till late at night..Can't get any rest. Have emphysema (79 Years old) which I can control with RX's and Lozol which have worked well for me.--Also taking 100mgs of gabapentin per day for "nerve endings",(causing itching over body) which robs me of all energy so one or both of these meds has to be causing me extra trouble. I'm at wit's end on what to do..doctor probably thinks I'm NUTS!
