Hand arm symptoms and conditions

I was on Lisinopril for several years. I developed a cough a few years ago, but didn't think it had anything to do with the Lisinopril. My doctor told me that it could be caused by the medication, but my cough was so severe and constant i didn't think that it would be something so simple as getting off this medication. Plus i am very cautious about meds and didn't want to go thru all the new side effects of another drug. I saw this website and was amazed! I stopped the Lisinopril 4 days ago and my cough is already so much better. I am trying to use just hydrochrolothiazide to control my bp, with my doc's knowledge. I have a question, has anyone had any symptoms after stopping Lisinopril? I'm having some brain fuzziness, tingling in one hand/arm. Let me know. Thanks!

I WAS a very healty 45 year old. I walked/ran 3.5 miles a day and did weight training 3 x a week. Ate healthy. No medicines at all, never sick. Had a mild sinus infection and hot flashes followed by freezing that we thought might be from the sinus infection. Dr. gave me Levaquin. Within a couple of days, I felt like both of my hamstrings were pulled and could barely walk. Bear in mind, that I had not been excercizing due to work circumstances. I had a shaky feeling inside that you could sort of see in my fingers. Anxiety. Depression. Mild nausea. Fatigue. A month later, still having the hot flashes and freezing and worse than ever (seems like constant), doctor thought the sinus infection hadn't cleared up so he prescribed cipro - 15 days 500 mg along with a steroid. Everything got even worse. Rash on my hand/arm the first or second day that I blew off as from an ant bite. Nightmares the first 3 nights. Hot flashes often accompanied by racing heartbeat, sometimes slight chest pain if the hot flashes came one right after the other. As I write this I am dripping in sweat. Headache. Also, all my joints started, and continue to hurt. Knees, ankles, even fingers and toes. I've never had arthritis, but I imagine this is what it would feel like if you had it in your entire body. Also, I feel STARVING right AFTER I eat. A relative emailed me a scanned copy of her pharmacy's warnings for levaquin and it mentions hypoglycemia and lists many of these symptoms. (not the muscle ones)
My dr. is attributing most of it to 'anxiety' but I didn't have the anxiety until after the meds and the symptoms.
He did a host of bloodwork to rule out infection, lupus, hormone problems, thyroid, etc and they all came back normal.

I was prescribed methylpred for a severe poison ivy/sumac rash, with intense itching. It didn't work that well on the rash, but two side affects are wonderful....I feel reenergized and can exist happily on less sleep. And the unexplained hand/arm numbness I've had for a few years, has disappeared.
It's interesting to read everyone's comments, with contrasting side effects, and various reasons for their prescription.

I took lipitor for 2 months. Never thought there would be a problem. I developed swollen hand,arm, and horrible itching. Dark spot on hand. Pharmarcist said it was lipitor. Doctor said stop it for a month. I Have Stopped For Good!!!! Since stopping had a slight back pain, but now 2 months feel fine.
I will research another way. Really alarming !!!!!
