I have been on Lisinopril for 2 months. About 2 weeks ago I started noticing small cough and I am dizzy off and on. I am a borderline diabetic which means I am not on medication for it. Let me tell you, Lisinopril suck! I feel like crap. I am always dizzy, I have to have things that have high sugar because my sugar level is always, always dropping. I feel really bad and it is getting worst. As of tonight, I will stop taking Lisinopril. I am due to see my doctor on Wednesday, Dec 17, 2008 and we will have a long talk. He is testing my blood. There is no way I will continue on this medication feeling the way that I do. I should have done research on the drugs like many of you did. My doctor assured me that Lisinopril was a good drug and it will help me with my kidneys since I am a diabetic. I believe drug has cause me more problems than what I had prior to taking it. I pray that my dizziness will stop and he will have to put me on something different. I am not over weight and I try to watch what I eat but, I will change my diet drastically and do whatever it takes to stay off HP drugs. This is really bad. I will come back with an update of what my doctor and I discuss. I thank all of you for sharing your story. I never knew that a drug could make a person feel like this.

I am answering your posting because I feel just like you. I have an itchy thorat, coughing with mucous and I hear buzzing in my ears. Lisinopril is a drug that has many side effect. I am trying to get off it tonight. The other day, I tried and I got pains in my chest. I have been on it for 3 months. I feel if I don't get off of the drug now I won't. My blood pressure was 153/95 when my doctor put me on the drug. I had a stressful day , but I was not thinking. Had I been thinking, I never would have taken the drug. good luck to you, but you better get off before it's too late.
