Oh,If my insurance won't cover it,how much is it,then?

15 years ago, at the age of 35, I had a major heart attack. After testing, the doctors decided I needed a quadruple bi-pass operation, followed by Lipitor, among other things. I was taking 20mg (the doctor ordered 40mg), but due to financial reasons I took only half. Everything was just great for 15 years. During a routine annual physical this year, my doctor noticed that my liver enzymes were off the chart high. He immediately had me discontinue the Liptor, but stay on all of my other medications. One month later, my liver enzymes were normal, and so was everything else; however, my cholesterol had climbed to 204, and I eat no meat, eggs, or other dairy products. They say my liver damage is permanent. Having had 4 lumbar surgeries and 1 cervical surgery to fuse disks in my spine, I have always attributed my back and other muscle pains to that. Now that I have been of the Lipitor for 3 months, I have not noticed in decrease in pain in these areas.

Male age 69. Switched from another blood pressure medication to 10 mg. lisinopril in November. Within 2 weeks my sense of taste changed completely. Terrible constant taste, usually bitter, in mouth. Could not stand to eat any foods with starch as enzyme in mouth to change starch to sweet taste was gone. After 2 months I switched to 2 mg. and lessened the terrible taste but still could not eat anything with starch and certain spices tasted terrible. In February I switched to another type of blood pressure medication and as of today I still have an acidly mouth, my tongue feels like it is burned on top, and starchy foods and spices still taste terrible. I have been told it may take 3 months to clear the chemical from my system. I hope it clears out! I wouldn't attempt to use this drug again unless there were no other alternative.

I was taking Atenolol for a few years and it worked marvelously, but because I am diabetic- my Dr put me on lisinopril because Atenolol supposedly raises your sugar somewhat.

I have only been taking lisinopril for a few days, but I have already noticed headaches, stiff neck and sore joints, nausea and diarrhea, and my pulse seems to be racing. I feel like the blood is rushing to my head so I doubt it is working for my blood pressure.

I also take lipitor and metformin (and low dose aspirin).

I was reading the ingredients, and I am curious why lisinopril wouldnt raise glucose since it contains starch!?

I think I will be heading for the emergency room shortly if my head continues to feel like its going to pop. I would rather go back to Atenolol and deal with the tingling, because at least it maintained my BP which is what I was taking it for.

I am a 27 year old female that was diagnosed with asthma in March of 2004. When I was diagnosed, I weighed 152. I current weigh 165. My appetite has changed completely in the past 2 years. I have very little taste for meat (which I used to love), I crave any type of starch and carbohydrate (which I used to enjoy, but not over-indulge in), and I struggle with depression.

Plus, since I started taking Advair, I am always tired and just want to rest when I get home from work. BUT, I can breathe much better than before.

The one thing that I've wondering since I began taking Advair is, is it making my asthma worse? I now depend on Advair to breath, and if I don't take it I am a mess. I don't know what to do.

Works very well for my acute back muscle pull. This is the most debilitating and painful injury I've experienced. I had to take a second one four hours after the first but since then I have had no problem maintaining at least a six hour interval. I haven't experience any insomnia but I have gotten nausia, dizziness, and profuse sweats near the end of the six hour interval between pills. I think this is due to an empty stomach and the ultracet. The prescription doesn't say so but I highly recommend taking this medication with food and keeping at least some food in your stomach. After eating a small snack of cheese crackers (starch) the nausiness went away.
I've seen some posts on this board that refer to taking two pills at once. You should not do this unless it is prescribed to you by the physician. Ultracet's web site explicitly states not to take two pills within a four hour window. If the prescribed medication dosage does not work for you please go back and consult your doctor rather than altering the dosage rate.
