I have been taking 20 mg Lisinopril for about one year. I work for a drug company (our company does not make Lisinopril). I do not know if these are connected or pure coincidences. I have lost about 6 pounds without going on a diet, sex drive goes in cycles (low to very high). I do not have ED, but the "quality" of erections is not what it used to be (maybe a sign of getting old).
The cough was never an issue when the generic was from Teva, however the last few refills have been from Ivax and that is when the cough started. It feels like someone is tickling your throat with spines and for the most part it is dry cough. Can different generic manufacturers be the problem?
Considering its excellent safety profile, I would be hesitant to switch medications just for the annoying cough. The drug works great (no morning flush or frequent pit stops)

I am a registered nurse that works in a pain clinic. We give epidural Kenalog everyday for people with disc problems in their spines. I had been having pain in my left leg and buttock for about 10 months, got an MRI and had a lumbar epidural steroid injection for my disc protrusion. It worked beautifully, still pain free 5 weeks later. However, my period is on its 3rd week now! My GYN gave me Provera pills but it didn't help. My other problem is I have found a lump in my breast. My GYN thinks it is related to the steroids and will do a mammogram in 2 weeks if it hasn't gone away. Has anyone else had this happen after steroids? I am 38.

I change to Yasmin three weeks ago, but I totally regreted. I have lost my appetite I just want to be drinking water. I feel dizzy sometimes because I haven't eat properly.I spend more time on the toilet at night that on my bed. Everytime I urinate I feel cramps on my uterus. My nipples and breast are always sensitive and painful. I feel that I am going to give birth (bloating) pain in my uterus, cramps and pain on my back. When I have sex I feel that my husband has spines on his penis it hurts and burns so bad. besides that my sex mood is going to hell. Do not mentioned my mood swings I can not stand no one. Sometimes I feel not talking to no one I even quit my telemarketing job. I feel sleepy, tired and always yawing anywhere anytime. One day I slept until 3 pm, my husband thought I was sick since I didn't want to get up from bed. When I have the chance to eat immediately has to come out, my bowl moments are like I been taking metamucil in every meal. Honestly Yasmin is WORST than Otrho-Low. I belived that there is no contraceptive good for our body.
