I am so glad to see all these postings about Lisinopril! At least I now know that I'm not alone...and maybe I'm not crazy! My hair is falling out by handfuls every time I shampoo it. I thought it was my scalp psoriasis causing it, but now I know what it is! I even wonder now if the Lisinopril has brought on the scalp psoriasis! The weakness in my neck is driving me crazy along with just a general feeling of all-over muscle weakness. Feels like I can't hold my head up all the time! I can't get enough sleep, and feel tired all of the time. My vision is blurry, and I do have some tingling in my arms and fingers. My concentration is shot, so is my memory! I'm quitting this stuff and going to try the diet/exercise routine and see if that does the trick. Never had high blood pressure until I gained this extra 30 lbs. so maybe losing it will put me back where I need to be. Oh! did I mention that just the thought of sex is more than I can take, let alone trying it!

I just came from an appointment with my hairdresser. She said that I should go to a dermatologist because my scalp was flaking (not dandruff). She said she has seen it before and it appears that I have an allergy to something. She also said that it might be contributing to my hair loss. I'm a female and 46 yrs old. I have been taking Lisinopril for about 6 months. I've had a variety of the symtoms everyone else has mentioned, especially the cough, but it wasn't until I decided to look at a connection between the medication and my thinning hair (which has occurred over the last 6 months) today that I'm convinced I need to stop taking this medication. Thanks for posting. I too know I'm not imagining things.
