I began taking lisinopril in late February and unfortunately had developed mononucleosis at about the same time (just my luck). As some may know, adult mono can be more of a chronic situation that lasts several months as opposed to a short, severe illness when you get it as a teenager.
Anyway, I was completely attributing all of my symptoms to mono, but I think I may have been allergic to the linosipril and did not get alarmed since with mono you need to endure very severe symptoms and essentially grin and bear it. Has anyone else here had an allergic reaction to the drug but kept on taking it? Just curious. A few of my symptoms that were not entirely indicitve of mono included swollen neck, face and throat as well as a reddish discoloration of the face. Again, all of this happened shortly after starting lisinopril, but I just persevered since I thought it was mono. I wonder if maybe I got over the allergy since I am still on the drug although the symptoms have largely dissipated...
