It all began with LISINOPRIL: Constant involuntary pulsating, twitching, spasming toungue, swollen tongue, difficulty speaking, extremely dry mouth...
As directed by my new internal med doctor, I had recently begun taking one 5 mg lisinopril one time per day for my hypertension. I also take one 5 mg Ziac daily. I am a 40 yo female. I took the lisinopril for 6 days before feeling too frightened and anxious to continue the medication. I have now been off of the lisinopril for a week, and my involuntary tongue movements are still present 24 hrs/day. This is a very disturbing sensation over which I am powerless to control or stop. I am preoccupied with it and full of worry. It is very obvious that my speech sounds thick and impaired, and I am embarrassed to speak around anyone now. I know that "other people's opinion of me is none of my business" because I know the real truth, but I hate for others to assume I am intoxicated or impaired in any way.
Anyone else have the twitching, pulsating, throbbing tongue movements? If so, how long did this last?
Thanks, MAC
