I must be severely allergic to this drug because I think I had every side effect known to man. First the depression came, then disorientation, manic behavior, loss of appetite, insomnia, nightmares, vomiting, becoming a different person, paranoid, crying, confusion, basic emotional freefall. Then I started convulsing, so I rushed myself to the ER. I also broke out all over my chest, and my head was bloated and red too. Of course the ER acted like Biaxin couldn't cause this, so I didn't find out it was Biaxin until I went online and found other sites with other patient reviews. Such a horrible experience and drug. It rendered me incapable of doing my job and school. Never again.

I have been taking lisinopril for almost three years. I have noticed that my hair which is very thick is starting to fall out after a shampoo and other wise. I thought it was because of coloring which does not happen every once in a blue moon. I also noticed that I have dry mouth, feel depressed, and confused at work while doing my job before I took a volunteer lay off. Confused and missing details...focusing was a real problem. Dizziness at times almost afraid to drive or go out due to this problem thinking that I was experiencing sutle anxiety feelings. Sex Drive also none...and do not feel like talking to people much anymore about many things.
This is very strange as I have always been very socialable.
I am 52 years of age and all these symptoms really are mind boggling to say the least.
I am glad to have come to this site. There should be an investigation into this medicine Lisinopril.
I am an active individual and so with all that going on I started to take a supplement of adaptagens.
My mother is taking the med too and has a terrible cough. I think I am going to insist that our doctors take us off the drugs.
I spoke to an acupunturist at the New England School of Acupuncture and they can treat HPD and other dis eases.

I am a 33 year old female with two children. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in Sept 2001, two months after my wedding. My doctor treated the best he could without hurting my chances of having children. After my family was finished he suggested Lupron. We had several meetings and much material before I deceied to take Lupron. I had a choice try the shot or have a hysterectomy. I choose the shot. I had a sever fall right before taking the shot and had major concusion. So when I went to the doctor with problem the lupron shot was over look and things going on blamed on my fall. However 11 months later I have found out different. I started Lupron in Oct 2006 and had hot flashes and some mood swings but it was well worth it not to be in pain 24/7 with the endo. However I was having headaches and joint pain but it was blamed on my fall.

I have a microadmea in my pitubitary gland, 3mm tumor. It is not cancer. However I have learned my shot is to blame. Granted this is in 1% of patients who take the drug. I have had major memory problems, depression, anxitoy, nervousness, hot flashes, cold sweats, major headaches, joint pain, general pain, hair loss, insomia, heart paputations, tacardia, lack of skin tanning, mood swings, endmea, tingling in hands and feet, gi problems, brusing easily, and many more things.
The lupron did what it said it would about my endo pain. It went away.
Now because of what was learning about my reactions to the drug and add back therpy my doctor took me off everything. It is horrible. It can take a long time for the side effect to go away from taking the drug but you have side effects from getting off the drugs too. I am getting a double dose and feel as though I am loosing my mind. My 4 year old asked me something three or four time and the last time she asked mom you need to do something with your head and get it together I am tired of telling you the same thing over. I hate my family is sufferieng. I will hae a hysterectomy in late Oct or early Nov, I am just waiting for the meds to get out where my system will be clear.
I am ready for my life to be back to normal. I am hoping the memory problems and pain will clear up soon however from my readings it could take some time. I want to be able to take care of my family again and know I did it well.
