I have been taking Lisinopril (5mg) for about a year now. It was not doing the trick so I was bumped up to 10 mg. About 3 weeks after taking the 10 mg pill I have started to feel really bad, as if I was being poisoned. My symptoms include the dry cough, achiness in my arms, legs, joints, back and oddly rib cage (like a shooting pain). I am now also getting the itch I have read about. This stuff is like poison. Im going to ask my doctor for another drug as this one is not the one for me. Has anyone else experienced the symptoms I mentioned, specifically the pain in the legs and arms?

I,too, am experiencing many of the same symptoms as many of you have written about. Has anyone had Lisinopril replaced with another, effective blood pressure medication by your physician?
