My doctor prescribed Lisinopril for my high BP but before I took any I read all the stories on here and was too afraid to take it.Finally I had to do something to lower my BP because I needed surgery and the surgeon would not do the operation if my BP was high.Long story short, I started the Lisinopril, have been on it now for 2 months and I'm glad I did. It not only lowered my BP to normal in one day but I did not experience all the nasty side effects mentioned on this site.The only side effects I have experienced so far are the coughing but that was mild and it has since gone away and only happened a few times and just a little dizziness occasionally upon standing from a sitting position, I sleep very well, no hair loss, not cranky,appetite is good. I'm really happy with this medication.

Many people take lisinopril without any problems. I took it for over 9 mths
without any side effects. Then I started getting so fatigued I couldn't
function and am so happy I found this website because many of the symptoms were the same I was experiencing. I hope you continue success
with lisinopril but if you do have problems at least it can be a starting point
to overcoming them. Good luck
