In dec of 2006 I was put on clonidine,it made me so tired, so my doc (Quack) switch me to lisinopril-hctz 20/12.5mg, for the last five months I thought I was dying, I could barely get up in the morning my throat feel like there is something stuck in it, I was spaced out half the time,had the shakes and the weak feeling all day ,every day,my joints hurt and a cant sleep because of the itching, my legs felt like i was carrying around leg heavy leg irons my neck hurts. my fingers cramped up, I have had dierra (sp) forever and I have lost 16 pounds,started out at 145 I stopped taking this poison on 7/02/07, I still can't sleep because of the itching, I still have shakes, when I get up in the morning, but it subsides in about two hrs, my throat is still a little sore and it is still a little hard to swallow but it is getting better every day. I am not tired all day, my husband is so happy that he is getting his wife back, this is my first time being sick and it is a shame that the first med I had to take made me sicker, I would not wish these meds on my worst enemy
