Right after I started taking Lisinopri in May 2007, I had a major flare-up of my Psoriasis. I have had Psoriasis for over 35 years and it was only in certain areas, now it has completely spread over my entire body. I also have constant ringing in my ears, never thinking it could be related to the Lisinopril. Sometimes it works to lower my blood pressure and other times it seems not to help. Occasionally I experience dizziness. These are all symtoms I never had before, I am not overweight and do not smoke. I had been healthy except for borderline hypertension prior to taking Lisinopril. I am not taking any other medications. My dermatologist is pressuring me to start Raptiva and I have agreed, not realizing that maybe just stopping the Lisinopril might ease the symptoms of my psoriasis. I just started researching Lisinopril in the last few days when someone I work with casually mentioned that there may be a link between Lisinopril and Psoriasis flare-ups.

I just want you to know that I lost my hearing on my left ear on 03-11-08 about 10 days after I started taking Lisinopril. I believe Lisinopril was the cause of my hearing loss because it was the only new medication I had started taking to lower my blood pressure. Please be careful.

I only took the meds for 3 days before I came off due to severe stomach cramps... but I have had psoriasis for 45 years and my dr wants me to start Humira but I'm scared. I don't know if I can give myself the shots. Right now I take Neoral 2 times a day and it works to an extent but to be totally clear....that would be wonderful...
