I started Zoloft after my cat died (we put him to sleep & it was a terrible experience) and I had started having panic attacks. My doctor talked me into it despite my reluctance. After 4 days (with side effects of dizziness & mild nausea) I became violently ill during the night. I had started another unrelated medication with it and he assumed it was to blame, so he told me to come off both meds for a couple days, then start back on the zoloft. I did this and again 4 days later became violently ill. He acted annoyed with me and told me to stop taking it, he offered me another antidepressant to start after a few days. Well I waited to feel better, and waited and waited. Called him 3 weeks later to complain about the nausea/stomach upset. He told me to stop taking the new medicine- which I then told him I had never started b/c I was still too sick. He gave me an antacid and didn't give it a second thought. Then weeks later (still sick most all the time) I drank one beer and became violently ill once again. I went to see him immediately and got a pregnancy test (negative) and more antacids. My husband saw him later for a cold or something and when he mentioned my name my doctor became hostile. I am waiting to get an appointment with a new doctor, but now it has been 5 months and I'm still sick every day. I can't drink caffeine, or take any vitamins/ supplements for energy b/c I become so ill when I do. I was fine until I took the Zoloft. I can't find any other mention of something like this on the internet, but it seems so obvious that it started exactly when I started the Zoloft, I can't just dismiss it as a coincidence like my doctor seems to. Besides that he has done nothing to find out what this mysterious illness is or to stop it.

I have been taking Lisinopril for about 1 year now because of high blood pressure. I believe that my case is due to genetic reasons, but from reading these posts, it seems like I am going to aggressively seek natural methods in loweirng my blood pressure as an alternative. I have experienced most of the side effects listed in all of these posts including: dry cough many times throughout the year, increased sensitivity to allergies (Never had any allergies before taking Lisinopril), shortness of breath, chest pain daily, respiritory problems, upper most of the time, lightheadedness, fatigue, lack of motivation in workouts and cardio workout, heart palpitations, irregular heart beat, feelings of anxiety during heart related sensations, and I am only 29. I have never had any major health issues and truly believe that Lisinopril is making me older and less healthy feeling than I should feel. I regularly workout but lately have felt useless in the gym and run out of energy very quickly. After reading the many posts here, I am very relieved to know that my heart and lung sensations are due to a drug and not a mysterious illness. I am going to go off the drug and evaluate my side effects and blood pressure. Hopefully I can get back to a normal life and feeling healthy again because I have many years ahead of me and have 3 children that I would really love to raise and see become successful. I have found when I do have the cough that taking claritin d gets rid of the cough in two days, but never did I suspect blood pressure medicine. As with many of the new medications, you can treat your ailment, but you will also gain 20 other problems that you didn't have before. Is it worth it? I believe not. I would trust in god and rely on healthy living to take care of yourselves. Be careful of big corporations greed because it will lead you to an early grave!!!!!
