I was started on Lisinopril about a month and a half ago. Initially I was taking 20 mg. I started having a dry cough and it was worse at night. After a month the doctor increased my dosage to 40 mg. The cough has grown much worse. As someone stated above...any phone conversation I have that is of any length at all will find me coughing continually. At night I sleep for about 1 1/2 hours and then am awake for many hours before I can fall back asleep because my legs are aching and I have Charley horses in my toes. I have had problems with achy legs at night, in the past and ibuprofen always helped...now it doesn't and the achy legs are every single night. Two nights ago I went to bed at 10:00 and woke up at 11:15. I was awake until 4:30 the next morning. I decided after doing some reading on lisinopril that I was not going to take it any longer. The doctor had told me at my last visit that if the coughing increased they would change my prescription. I too have experienced some nausea and headaches. I commonly suffer the side affects of drugs so I'm not really surprised.
