Anyone else experienced weight gain and swelling of ankles and legs when taking Lisinopril? I've gained 15 pounds in the past 9 months even though I'm not eating anymore than usual. And in the past 4 months, the swelling in my ankles and lower legs is worse then when I went on the drug. My blood pressure is consistent at around 120 over 70 but the side effects have me worried. Is there an alternative?

Hi....I didn't have any swelling of ankles/feet until after taking Lisinopril for over a year. My doctor denies that any of the side effects seen here on this web site has anything to do with the medication. I went from Lis. to Cozaar. Same deal. I'm now on Lopressor...no swelling of anything. These doctors defend their prescriptions to the death. Use your own head. What I've been thru due to Lis/Coz is horrible. My nerves are shot. The drug companies should be shot instead. My doc thinks I'm nuts. I'm not. Good luck to u.
