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.

Not really sure, because of other medications I take. I am not sure why I am taking it and if it is in fact helping me.

Update from 4/18 'Took this drug ONE TIME'. Dr. is calling my experience an allergic reaction. No longer taking Lisinopril. Have been on Metformin for 3 days now. This medication is for the control of high blood sugar. I'm borderline diabetic they say. (Blood test results came back in time for my re-evaluation visit). The reviews on this med are very encouraging & so far no side effects. It's very cheap also. 4 dollars for one month. 1/'13 - weight was 230. I am 6'0". Rode my bicycle just shy of 1000 miles that year. No weight loss in fact I gained a couple of pounds. Muscles not responding to the exercise. Extremely frustrating. How is that even possible? lol Over the winter I gained 15 more pounds. I now weigh 246lbs. Many people taking Metformin claim substantial weight loss & good results from exercise. Blood pressure down. I am very encouraged at this point.Read More Read Less

I took this drug ONE TIME & suffered terrible headache, dizziness, slight cough-dry throat. Feel awful for 14 hours now. I am not going to take anymore & will be telling my Dr. this is not the drug for me.

Worked great on lowering my blood pressure, but i also have developed a cough, keeps me awake at night coughing and gagging, nauseated. One of the side effects could cause trouble with your eyes so they need to be checked if you are having problems.

I have been on the medication for about 6 months. While it is great for the BP my ranges are now 75-125 and sometimes lower, I have developed some chronic hoarseness that seems to be getting a little worse each day. Once of my co-workers developed a dry cough and had to switch to another medication. Has anyone experienced hoarseness with this drug?

I am a 49 year old male with chronic HTN. Due to insurance changes, I stopped taking the Beta Blocker I was on in January due to cost. Now that I changed jobs... and insurance, doc changed me to this 2 weeks ago. I literally find myself falling asleep at the wheel driving through major metro traffic. Can't sleep well at night, and still have chest pains from hypertension. Perhaps dosage isnt right, but dont dare try anything higher.
