Within a week of taking 20mgs of Lisinopril, I developed intense itching around my lower back, then in my hands in feet. Within 24 hours, I started having tingling, aching, and deep pain in different areas of my body, but most intense in my left arm and hand. I also had tingling in different areas of my body, headache, neck and back pain. I could not sleep and was starting to get depressed, as well as stressed. I called my doctor, but he thought I was suffering from nicotine withdrawal. I had stopped smoking two weeks before. Last night I couldn't bear it anymore (I had not slept for 5 nights due to the pain and itching), and went to the emergency room. The doctor on call confirmed I was having a alergic reaction. The on call doctor gave me various medication to fight the reaction, and pain medication. I slept all day today, and feel almost normal again. If this happens to you, don't wait a week, see a docter immediately. Don't suffer the pain me and my family did.
