Goodness, this is an amazing site. Just came to check and see if depression is a side effect of Lisinopril. And what do I find? All my other symptoms. I'm taking it for mitral regurgitation and, after a pacemaker (ICD) implant in Feb., my doctor increased dosage in June from 1.25 mg daily to 5 mg and wants to go up to 10 mg. I also take 25 mg Atenolol for bp (which does the job, and I can't imagine using Lisinopril for high bp). My symptoms: tired, tired all the time unless I drink lots of coca cola (yes!); sudden onset of narcolepsy (falling asleep) in the late afternoon; feel like I haven't slept; can't get going; feel hopeless, depressed, dizzy at times, can't concentrate, trouble reading, focusing. I'm really not "myself". So I decided this morning, with a four-fold increase in this drug two months ago, I'd better check it out. I'm cutting back to 2.5 mg, and taking it at bedtime only. I might as well be an invalid this way. What do others think? Now I'm off for that Coca Cola to make it through this day!
