User Reviews for lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide oral

been on this for nearly 10 yrs..cannot go out in the sun break out in itchy water blisters that then leave a scar..cannot sleep ever..hair loss blurry vision..this is the only meds i take and i am asking for something else..too many warning labels and symptoms for me..

On lisinopril 6 mths, coughing (bad) 5 months with no allergies or illness. Helped with BP but use several other meds such as Coreg. Weight gain and no energy. Doc pulled me off today and put me on losartan. Will see if they get a good review.

do not take this drug i was on it for 1.5 yrs had ringing in the ears and lack of feeling in my feet. Have stopped taking it and have never felt better this drug is bad i felt every day i was tripping through life finally back to normal cure worse then the cause

Took first pill today;-) 20/12.5htcz. So far nothing crazy. Ill update soooooon.

When I took the first pill, I got a migraine and had to take a nap to try to sleep it off. When I awoke, I was nauseous and did vomit. I had to get my blood pressure down in one day to be able to have a tooth extracted which required a numbing drug to be administered to be able to remove the tooth. So, again I took another pill the following day before my dental appointment, and again I vomited and had a migraine. BUT, my blood pressure went down and I had the tooth removed. I won't take that drug again, though. And, with the tooth removed, my blood pressure is normal to slightly high. So, staying off the pills for now.Read More Read Less

I have had no issues with this medicine outside of a little dry cough for the first week. It brought my blood pressure down wonderfully.

I started taking this and right away felt dizzy standing and my right arm felt tingles in it. I went around in a fog then we went to emergency room and they could not figure out what was wrong. I then called my pharmacy who told me to quit taking it. I feel much better now and going back to my Dr to get another type drug. While working out at the gym a man told me he had the same symptoms when taking it.

I have High Blood Pressure, and because my pressure was not stable with just the HCTZ, she prescribed me this medication. I have taken, as directed, for 2 weeks now, and have noticed a cough, especially at night, and slight dizziness within the first 2 hours of taking it. I check my blood pressure twice a day, and with the medication, has been normal, thank goodness, but I sit at a desk all day, and the dizziness is really bothersome.

My cardiologist started me on Lisinopril for my chf when I was first diagnosed in October 2008. Beginning with the lowest dosage, my Dr. increased my dosage incremently each succeeding year. There were 6 month intervals where I had to stop the higher dosages for a while and then re-introduce the higher dosage. This way my body accepted the higher dosage. I am now at 40 mg twice daily and I feel fine.

I have interrupted sleep and wake up around 2-3am and can not get back to sleep. Also, there is more confusion and some dizziness.

The medication works, but it gave me terrible stomach issues from day one. It was like having the worst heartburn ever. Also had nausea, weakness, dizziness as well. Going back to using just Lisinopril without the added Hydrochlorothiazide.

Does this medication cause weight loss? I started taking this at the end of Sept. and it's mid-March and I've lost almost 15 pounds without changing eating habits or exercise. It did work to lower my blood pressure.

Did an excellent job of lowering my BP, but it made me feel exhausted, heavy, lethargic. Headaches and just a bit "off".

Can this med cause weight gain? I walk 6 days a week and have not changed my diet. I have been on this for a month

my only issue is a rash if i stay out in the sun - itchy and annoying for a day or two

After having reasonable BP readings for years, they spiked and were in the region of 190/110 for a week. Within 24 hours of taking this medication they dropped to 138/80 and within a few days have hovered around 120/80. No side effects at all so far.

I've only taken it one week, but I am extremely tired, have very bad nausea, slight headache. Not sure if it has been long enough to make a determination.

I was taking 25mg and it lowered my blood pressure some. The major thing was the dizziness and severe constipation. My whole stomach area felt like my insides were going to come out. It was terrible! Had to switch meds!

I've never had high BP until 2 weeks ago, an episode after serious migraine. I've had high BP only after surgeries.I developed a dry hacking cough. This medicine kinda works and now my BP is too low and that feels worse-like I'm passing out, dizzy, unbalanced on my feet. I play golf (walk the course), ballroom dance, do water exercise classes, and have never been "off balance". In the evening hours my BP goes back up and it's hard to get to sleep and stay asleep. If this is the answer, I'm not happy with it. I've taken it only every other day and opposite days just the diuretic alone to give my body/mind a break. Being a "space cadet" mentally is the pits! Researching other meds and solutions-best of luck to those that stay on it. Read More Read Less
