Has anyone been LOOSING their HAIR on this pill. My daughter is taking to regulate her periods and so far she has turn from a sweet layed back princess to a hateful unbearable wench!!!! She has had all of the symptoms I'm reading about PLUS one!!!! She has been LOOSING her HAIR and its BREAKING OFF along the hairline making it look like someone is cutting it off and this, as a 14 yr teenager, is worse (for her) than all the other symptoms put together!!!! Of course, she's not affected by her thinking the world is coming to an end and arguing about everything she can and thinking I'm the dumbest person in the world!!! Wait! You think that has something to do with her age? lol In all seriousness if anyone is experiencing hair loss tell me about it. I'd like to make sure it is the medicine. Thanks!

Hi! Yes, I started losing my hair after taking Lisionpril for about a month. My hair's very fine & thin anyhow, so I can't afford to lose more. It's definitely the medication! Also, other symptoms I told my doctor about caused her to prescribe another medication: Cozaar. I'm afraid to take another, however. I just stopped Lisinopril Oct. 1 and I'm having terrible cramping at the back of my thighs. I guess one should gradually lessen the dosage instead of suddenly stopping it. Tonight I had to take 1 Lisonpril because the pain was so bad (my blood pressure suddenly went up as well...146/85). I was put on this stuff because I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it's supposed to protect my kidneys.
