My husband has been taking lisinopril 2.5 mg since 4-5-06, he has experienced various side effects to which his doctor simply sends him to a neurologist and then after the visist with the neurologist he is told its normal. He has experienced a sudden feeling of his blood pulse in his left side of his neck, he also has a feeling of not getting enough oxygen or a breathless feeling and was in the emergency room where they took the arterial blood count and ekg and various blood tests where they all came out normal. I just want him off this drug, the side effects are more dangerous than the risk of a heart attack or stroke. My husband's health has been deteriotating since he started taking meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol. I am tired of hearing our doctor tell him it's nothing. Is anyone else experiencing the same reaction from there GP's?

I am on my second time around with Topiramate (generic Topamax). It has been a year, and I have no reason other than weight loss to take this drug. I also don't know if the online generic versions are really Topamax except I do experience some of the side effects I read about, the tingling arms and legs, the itching, and the foul tasting carbonated drinks. I have started at 25 mg. per day 3 days ago, and am at 250 mg today with no cut in appetite except an hour after I take the pills. Do you think they are even real?
