I recently noticed my hair was thinning, long strands coming out in the shower, and extremely dry. I had thin hair to start with, so can't afford to lose any hair. I read all these postings where others have had hair loss from Lisinopril. I started taking it the end of August and in the past few weeks have noticed the hair loss. I put in a call to my doctor and am waiting for his return call. Lisinopril has been keeping my BP's almost perfect, but what a trade off. I'm wondering if taking extra Vitamin E or Nioxin which promotes hair growth would overpower the effects of Lisinopril. I've also felt a vibration in my left thigh that comes and goes and my thigh heats up once in a while and goes away. Anyone had that side effect?

Yes, I have had considerable hair loss in the last six months. I have lost at least 1/3 of my hair since I started this drug this year. I end up with strands of hair on my hands when and after I wash it, and when I dry it. I had very thick hair, and even had trouble holding it back with those big hair clasps. Now it is thin, and I can see my scalp. I am very upset over this.
