Last ditch effort symptoms and conditions

Lisinopril works! I have been taking 5mg three times a day for years. No side effects. The Dr. told me to take 15mg once a day. Is this a time released tablet? I am 77 years old and a diabetic. I test my blood sugar 6X a day. This way I can control what I eat. Sugar problem was diagnosed 5 years ago with levels running from 40-385. I was depressed & worried about my health. This drug resolved the problem. My best advice is talk to your Dr. and your pharmacist. Friends, family & neighbors mean well. Consider the source!

The only thing that I have experienced with Tricor is passing gas. And I don't mean now and then, I am talking about the competitive level for some farting contest.
But does it do what it is supposed to? So far, nope.....But then beside the 145mg Tricor I am also on Zocor 40 mg and even with that combo, I am still over 300 Cholesterol, Triglycerides at 1200+.
This is kind of a last ditch effort as I have been on all of the strong Cholesterol drugs. Doctors have been alarmed at my 535 cholesterol level and the 3265 triglycerides - as for HDL/LDL who knows where thats at.
Now, everyone say WOW! then I tell you I have been like this for over 15 years. From Omega3, to extreme high doses of Niacin (the kind that makes you flushed badly), Lipitor, Crestor, and others with some that I took multiple pills - Nothing touches me. (Now 9 different drugs and nothing)
Sugar levels under 120 avg., BP 120/72 or less. As for Muscles, no problem. My only real complaint is the farts 24/7. Yes, even in my sleep.

I started using lipitor from my doctor, it lowered my cholesterol all around but I started to have lower back pains. At first I thought it might be prostate cancer, but after having to MRI's done they found no cancer, thank god. But I went to an orthopedic surgeon to see what the problem was. He looked at the mri's and saw lower dics hitting my nerve endings. He also thought that it might be muscle problems so he gave me 3 epidurals and that helped for a while took away about 50% of my pain, but I still have the pain, It is hard for me to get comfortable when I sit or even when I am sleeping. I don't want to think that it is the lipitor that is doing it to me but after talking with others I feel it is time to talk to my doctor about it. My doctor said that lipitor is the safest one that will do very little harm to my liver. I am not a doctor so I would not know.. My cholesterol level was 246 at one time now it is 175. I am now facing possible spine fusion to help correct my disc problem. But will also ask doctor to prescribe something else.

About six months after my daughter started taking yasmine. her moods changed, her personality changed, she was is a state of depression and was having panic attacks regularly.she lost an excessive amount of weight and was thinking about suicide. I asked her doctor and a gyn if the yasmine could possibly be causing these side effects. They both said no. So she started getting treatments for depression and anxiety and was put on medication. Paxil. This medication seemed to be helping at first but then she started having the same effects as before and she was still taking the yasmine. in the last 3 months she has been taking the birth control shot and has not taken yasmine or paxil and is now doing great. I'm really disappointed in her doctor's because a lot of her misery could have been avoided if we had been told this earlier. My daughter was on Yasmine for 2 years before I finally decide to check the side effects from the internet myself. Now she says she feels so much better and is back doing things with her friends again is having a fun teenage life. Never again will I let her use Yasmine!!!!
