I just stumbled across this site. I have been taking Lisinopril for a few years for HBP. I am always tired and was chalking it up to aging but now I realize that maybe it is this medication! I have periods of dizziness and vertigo and I have been coughing at night and have a lot of phlem in my throat. I think I will be checking in with my Doctor. Thanks to whoever created this site.

Well, I just stumbled across this site but WOW am I happy I did. I just started Yasmin about a month ago and have experienced some weird things. I've been having these random occurances I guess you could call anxiety attacks? I start getting really hot and then start shaking and a huge headache and my throat starts closing up and then my head goes blank with a MASSIVE headache. I also have constant headaches, random food cravings, and I am constantly thirsty. I've also been in such pain and it's a hastle to walk places and I am constantly tired. I thought it could just be growing pains untill I came across this site.
Could this all be related to the pill?
And what are the attacks called that I had described above?
Is this pill worth taking since it's doing all of this to my body?
Is there any other pills less risky I could take?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,
-- By joinneworleans | Reply | (1) replies | Private Message meI am a fourth year medical student and recently I started having horrible panic attacks, I feel like crying all the time and I actually feel depressed. I am a "hypochondriac" generally (I guess it comes with the territory of knowing about different diseases out there), but I have been feeling like I am going crazy. I started Yasmin in November of 2006 and I was fine for a few months. Lately, with stress at school and exams, I started feeling like I've just crumbled. I get anxiety/panic attacks (the latest one was at the movies), horrible heart palpitations, nausea, I am sweating, I can't sleep, I feel this knot in my stomach. It's horrible. I thought it was me cracking under pressure, but I was never like this before I started Yasmin. Recently, I was placed on an antidepressant because everyone assumed it was depression, but after reading this post, I really think it might be the pill. I got off it a week ago, so I hope I will see a difference. Thanks guys!!!
