Started taking lisinopril in June/05. Didn't realize it until a few days ago, but I have been experiencing unsual joint pain and muscle weakness for about 3-4 months now. I just happened to read the patient advisory leaflet that came with my mail order prescription and I noticed that I should call my doctor as soon as possible if i was feeling unusual joint pain. Lately I have been waking up to severe joint pain in almost every joint in my body, fingers, toes, tops of feet, ankle, knees, elbows, shoulders, and muscle pain in the forearms and calves. I feel as if I am 75 years old. I can't hardly get out of bed I am so stiff. Since I coudlnt get in to see my doctor until early March I decided to take myself off the medication. I am also taking ziac for high blood pressure. It can't be very good for my body to continue to suffer from so much joint pain. Anyone else have similar symptoms?
