Get off the Lisinopril now!!
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.
