Computer desk symptoms and conditions

I had tried Lisinopril 5mgm years ago and hated it. I was depressed and exhausted. More recently another doctor talked me into trying it again. 10 mgm this time and recommended I try taking it at night. I am laying my head on the computer desk at home all the time. I will "last" about 10 hours until my head starts drooping forward. And most recently, I've been too exhausted to chew. Now some might think that's a weight loss tip, but it was awful. I was so hungry, made a sandwich and took almost an hour to eat it because I was too exhausted to chew. I took myself off of lisinopril today. Has anyone else been too exhausted to chew? I almost fell asleep in church today and when I got home took a 5 hour nap (unheard of) and woke up exhausted. I too appreciate this site. If you go to the lisinopril site, they down play the side-effects. I'm a nurse and am not willing to go through this, hoping the side effects would go away. I don't believe they will and these are dangerous effects.

My son, who just turned 14 this month, was on Singulair for over 2 years.
He was diagnosed with reactive airway disease and possibly Asthma--and prescribed this awful drug-even back in 2004. The doctor said how wonderful this med was and prevents any further attacks.. So, for 2 years-every night, he took this mood altering, destructive drug. He lost all interest in school, his athletics-soccer, skateboarding, biking..in fact became almost a vacant , very unhappy, child-had stomach aches, joint pains and reflux--why--I brought him to the doctor and Pediatric center so frequently--all they kept saying his --his asthma is better, much be other issues...Even after the March 2008 suicide--his doctor said-that is just an isolated incident-just monitor him--It is a good drug. Right, month by month his behavior escalated to wanting to die, no reason to go to school-he said he was stupid and a failure and why don't I understand there is no reason to his life. A usually happy fun-loving boy -my son- didn't want to live. Nothing made him happy-I started to believe what the doctors said--maybe something or someone at school (bully, pedophile??) caused this change. Terrible nightmares and vivid dreams...Until this past July, I asked him want to go to the library for some books or dvd's...he went ballistic-threw everything off his computer desk and tried to break his chair. He is not an aggressive boy but this behavior was becoming a daily issue. Along with everything flying off his table, was his bottle of Singulair pills. It then dawned on me..I have been poisoning my only son. The child I know and love and gave birth to returned within a few days--although I am worried sick about further asthma attacks --all the doctors can prescribe is a steroid drug-asthmex or Pulmicort.. I cannot understand nor comprehend why this drug is being prescribed for children and young adults. The guilt I live with is terrible as my son has lost 2 years of his life--
and thought there was something really wrong with him-At least we woke up---in time--how about some other parents..thinking it's just normal adolescent behavior for their child or their fault???

Where should I start? Today the lights are finally coming on and the puzzle of how crummy I have felt since I started this drug are coming together. Some of these I never mentioned to my doctor... he said I would feel flu like symptoms if it were Lipitor... because I asked before I started. So, no fever, no "illness".... just leg pain. I thougth I needed new shoes, or was spending too much time at the computer.
Leg pain (upper left).
Deafness and tinnitus (right ear).
Ear infections (NEVER had ONE before Lipitor)
Frequent, recurrent Sinus infection.
Chronic nasal inflammation.
Insomnia.
Forgetfulness... frequent, worsening.
Tendonitis... frequent, varied locations (never had it before Lipitor)
Poor Balance.
Indigestion.
Flatulence.
Discomfort in the eyes (I have had amblyopia my whole life... didn't know until today that amblyopia is listed as an adverse sensory reaction in the PDR). Went to an eye doctor... looked okay... attributed symptoms to chronic sinus problems and adjusting to new bifocals... maybe bad angle at computer desk.

This is a rude awakening for me and I am done with Lipitor. It isn't worth it. My Cholesterol wasn't even THAT high , and my ratios were really good as wer triglycerides.... so no wonder I feel like a punching bag with one ear. Forget it. This isn't worth it. I'm going to try a more natural approach.
