I was prescribed Lisinopril for pre-hypertension at 10 mg a day. I've only taken it for 2 days and have felt so sluggish and tired but revved up on the inside at the same time. Had a headache too last night and blurry vision. It does work in lowering the BP though. Last night I felt as if I couldn't take deep breaths to relax myself and then I started having shaking chills and tingling in the hands and feet. Thought I was having a panic attack so I took my clonazepam. Then I felt like I'd have to throw up or go to the bathroom to get relief. The clonazepam kicked in after about an hour and knocked me out, but I still woke up a few hours later still feeling extremely anxious even though the clonazepam was still in my system (I take it twice a day for panic attacks) along with Lexapro for depression/generalized anxiety. I'm refusing to take any more of this drug. I will lose weight and exercise and eat healthy just to avoid this drug.

I became very agitated. I was also sweaty. I knew something was very wrong. I went to my quack, who decided I was having psychological problems, and prescribed paxil. I tried that for two days, and then realized that wasn't my problem. Looking back on it, it is so obvious to me that I was being poisoned by the lisinopril. Don't know why a trained medical professional wouldn't see that - it was so obvious. I took myself off the lisinopril after another few weeks, thanks to no help from the doctor. I'd have been so much better off if I'd been taking off lisinopril sooner. It has been 3 years now since I stopped lisinorpril. My lungs have been permanently damaged, and are achy all the time. Zinc helps as do a few other things. Damn the pharmatoxical industry.

Best of luck to all. Don't let them tell you it's all in your head!

Oh, and I had some purple zits on my back too along with being very sweaty and agitated. My quack addressed each symtom individually, never adding them up to poisoning. Stupid quack.

Best of luck to all!
