Just got off of lisinopril a few days ago under doctors orders after taking the drug for about 6 months. Was having bouts with itchyness with skin writing all over the body, went to a dermatologist and suggestion was made that lisinopril was the culprit. Itctyness is subsiding now. Still coughing with a little phlem once and a while that I hope will subside within a few weeks. Was getting shorness of breath wich seems to be getting better as the days progress being off the drug. On the plus side it had lowered the blood pressure significantly. Am now monitoring and recording blood pressure at home till drug diminishes from system and something else can be prescribed if needed....
