Included headache symptoms and conditions

My husband took lisinopril for only two days and had to stop. His side effect symptons included headache, muscle and joint aches, fatique, insomnia, fever and chills, loss of appetite, and THE cough. All of these symptons were severe! It has been two days since he stopped taking lisinopril and he is still flat on his back. I am really amazed that this med ever passed FDA approval, and why any doctor would even prescribe it. I wonder if the docs prescribe it because you can get it at Wal-Mart and a local grocery store pharmacy for only $4.00 per month. Makes me think that the manufacture is trying to push this drug inspite of the horrible side effects by dropping the price, which the insurance companies really love.

I started taking Allegra at 8 p.m. on April 8, 2003, for seasonal sinus problems here in Michigan. After taking the second caplet at the same time the following evening (April 9), I awoke the next morning with a lower back ache. On April 10, after my third Allegra, the back pain was so severe I could not stand from a sitting position without assistance. By my fourth Allegra caplet on April 11, I also had a severe headache along with the increasing back pain. I had taken Allegra for approximately one week before I saw a local television ad for the medication stating that "possible" side effects included headache, cold symptoms and/or backache. I thought then that the possibility of the back pain being related to the Allegra was evident. I discontinued taking Allegra on April 15, 2003, and the backache is nearly gone. The slight headache remains, but responds to aspirin. It should be noted that I had a problem several years ago with Allegra-D causing severe head congestion and sinus pain. I would not recommend anyone taking this medication without knowing that the side effects are more than just "possible" .
