I have been on Lisinopril now for 4 months. I developed a terrible dry cough, I suffered a heat stroke after only being outside for about 45 minutes, I have episodes of what I call "Brain Freezes", when my brain will not think and I cannot talk. All these things happened while being on Lisinopril.
Only yesterday did I find out the terrible side effects associated with this drug. I have had abnormal Blood tests. In fact they are fearing that I have Lymphocytic Leukemeia.
This drug causes increase in WBC, dry cough, extreme sensitivity to heat and to sun, mental changes.
This is not a fit drug for man nor beast.
My face and eyes stay extremely puffy all the time , which is another side effect.
I refuse to take this drug any longer and will be seeing my MD. on wednesday. If he should refuse to beleive my symptoms are related to this partioculr medication, then I suppose I will find another MD.
After all our MD's. work for us. We are the boss and anyone whose Md. refuses to accept your symptoms as a side effect of this drug is not a good Md.
Find another Doctor and tkae control of your life. You know how you feel, and you know if something isn't right.
