Thank you so much for this posting! For several weeks now, I have had muscle twitches and muscle cramps, seemingly out of the blue. This morning I realized that I switched to another provider for lisinopril (which i have been on for quite a while, but never been that happy with) and was so good to hear someone else with the muscle effects. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and hope to switch to something else. ALSO--did you hear about the Wall St. Journal article regarding generics/Wellbutrin. It mentions the generic for Toprol --i've just switched away from the generic because of a side effect, the one mentioned in the article! (It was covered on NPR yesterday, 4-26-08, so you can find it online.) The explanation of how generics are approved was illuminating--and explains a lot of why they may not be as effective. Again, thanks so much for posting!
