My husband has been using this medication for over 15yrs. The medication works very good keeps his BP regulated and on track however he has lost all his hair on his head and also has cannot ejaculate or takes a very long time. I told him to speak with his doctor about it but he has his pride and refuses to ask for help.

Just started taking it a week ago, my Dr. switched it out with innefective BP meds. Two hrs after taking it, I felt like I had the flu...teeth chattering, bones/muscle aches. Weak legs, which is already an issue because I need a hip replaced. Not too pleased and a bit scared.

first week had a real "metallic" taste, then that went away, has lowered blood pressure, but I do experience lightheadedness or dizziness if I stand too quickly, especially from a squatting position.

makes me very tired, fuzzy thinking etc when taken in morning. Take 10mg daily but I weigh 105 lbs. I understand someone weighing much more do not have this problem. I plan to now take it at night with supper to see if that is better.

It makes me sweat profusely when taking this drug. I don't mean a drip off the end of my nose but a continuous stream. Takes about a week to go away when I stop taking enalapril but then BP skyrockets. I feel stuck in a hard place.

Have taken for over 30 years and have had to increase my dosage. Price is almost prohibitive but generic does not work for me.

I was prescribed this medication due to the fact that my urine test found a high amount of protein in it and I have Type 2 Diabetes. To help prevent Kidney Disease. Too soon to see if it works.Has given me a no stop hurting cough that won't go away. Hard to sleep. Stomach & ribs ache from cough. I see the dr. in two weeks and he wants me to continue the medication until I see him. I normally have low B/P. B/P is still ok. cough is so bad.
