Caucasian symptoms and conditions

I'm a 46 year old, Caucasian female, average weight. I was on Lisinopril 10mg once a day for 3 months. I'm in relatively good health (except for a slight increase in B/P).
During that time I experienced:
gagging cough (especially at night)
depression
anxiety (mild)
no menstrual cycle (it came back 4 days after stopping the drug)
dry nasal passage (including polyps)--this seems to be clearing up with Fluticasone.
feeling of an irregular heartbeat

I did go to my doctor and he said that the side effects are common; however, he said that this medication shouldn't effect my menstrual cycle... well, it did. He did put me on another B/P medication and told me to stop the Lisinopril.

I'm posting this because it's been hard to find anything out about a lack of cycle for women who were taking this drug. I wanted to share my experience to let you know that you're not alone. Always follow your instinct with medications you're taking. You know your body best!

POLL: If you or your child have been adversely affected by Singulair could you please reply to this and let me know what ethnicity you are and skin tone. (fair, med., dark, etc.) I'm interested in the demographics of this drugs effects.
Thank you!

Hi so I've only been taking Topamax for five days now and I have a question? I am black and I also have a problem where I woke up this morning and instead of hair loss per se, my bangs on either side were cut straight across about 4 inches missing (this is a lot for a black person, maybe even to anyone trying to grow their hair for their upcoming wedding). It's like someone used scissors to cut off 4 inches, of only the front of my hair (breakage). Has anyone else heard of this? Please help.

melasma (i'm pale skinned caucasian who uses tons of sunscreen) above my upper lip. laser does not get rid of it. i'm not pregnant or nursing.

also, hair loss could be due to overmedicating with synthroid or just plain hypO-thyroidism. just learned that sometimes low calcium (take premcal ONLY) or calcium without the correct ratio of vitamin D and magnesium, could be the reason one gets overmedicated on synthroid, then follows hairloss.

Adding to the nightmare stories I have just read. I must include horrible head pain on right side near ear, and running down neck. Also rapid heartbeat, light-headedness, insomnia and food and drink seemed to help absolve the problems somewhat. Took four days until I realized it must be the medicine!!

Started with fever on Friday and felt so horrible by Monday saw my physician, who I might add, has been attending me for 3-4 years. Since I lost my job and have no insurance, my doctor gave me samples of Levaquin, due to congestion in lungs and head.

I was to start immediately with a daily dose of 500 mg. Almost immediately after 1st dose I started to feel drained of all life, and I cannot explain if my breathing was shallow or not. I called my sister and she reassured me that the flu or virus like bug I must have was like her and her husband had experienced several weeks earlier, and that I would slowly start to feel better, and that it might take 10 days or so.

Yesterday I started having sweats and the insomnia is getting worse. I started realizing today that after this morning's dose I was so scared of what I felt that I told my son I was afraid I would die. I WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN after reading this website.

I am so happy that I had the sense to realize that something was not right, since I was not feeling better, but worse each day. I only hope that I am not too late.

I will call my doctor tomorrow and tell him, and get some treatment, perhaps the prednisone or something to boost me. I am scared to death that it has caused permanent damage, and that it will not leave my system.
