I am 52 yrs old. I had a history of low b/p untill 10 yrs ago when it suddenly change to very high b/p. Cause unknown.
I have been on numerous types of b/p meds tryin to control the high b/p. About 12 months ago my GP changed me over to Lisinopril. My b/p dropped way to low and he changed the dosage to 10mg per day. It is still lower, 100/60, but he seems pleased with that.
At about the same time I developed a persistant hacking, dry cough and began vomiting as many as 15 times per day. I cannot keep most meals down and it's causing me to have trouble falling asleep and stay asleep. I've lost over 65 pounds, my hair is thinning and I am exhausted.
My GP nver mentioned Lisinopril might be the cause and has sent me to 3 different specialists to find out why I am coughing and vomiting. No one has come up with an answer.
You can imagine my shock when I stumbled upon this website!
I've emailed an inquiry to my GP to ask if he thinks Lisinopril might be the cause and will ask my gastro-intestinal specialist when I see him this week. I'll post their answers.
I'd be thrilled if this drug was the cause and the cure could be a simple change of medications.

felt great,but after 3weeks,I developed the worse case of huge welts on my arms legs feet and hands. My doc gave me a steriod and it cleared up. Will nver take wellbutrin again, the pain and severe itching were too scary for me. Also my doc said that every time you have an allergic reaction it will be far more serious than the first time. ADIOS to wellbutrin.

I am a 32 yo Mother to 4 children. My ONLY purpose for taking Yasmin was to control the severity of my periods. After the fourth child my periods became so heavy, crampy and unbearable that I had to do something. I have been on Yasmin for a little over a year now and all I can say is had I known then what I know now...I wouldn've said to hell with that!!!
Mood Swings, I mean my god ladies, they are awful, my husband of 10 years never once called me a Bitch and now I hear it all the time it seems, the weight gain was off and on. My metabolisim slowed to a stop basicaly, my hair started to fall out of my head and found itself on my face. The sobbing for no reason (at a dog commercial ladies..a dog commercial) constantly being tired, then not being able to sleep when i knew I was exhausted.
My libido was non exsistant which caused termoil in my marriage for a period of time. There was nothing I could do. I felt so helpless. Out of control, sad, sick, and in general just BLAH!
Secondly the medication was supposed to help reduce the severity of my periods and make them shorter..HA HA HA HA HA!! That's the biggest joke. They are still the same now as they ever were. 8-9 days, filling a super pad within and hour and a half, having to wear both tampons and pads just to go out in public. I have had no pills for a week. I quit cold turkey so to speak and I have had spotting lots of spotting, headaches, and bloating associated with nausea. I am glad that I am off of the Yasmin pill and I'll never go on Yasmin again!
I would love to know of a lawsuit pending against them, so that I could be returned all the money I spent in copays, to feel worse than I did before I started taking it.
