Lisinopril has ruined my life! I used to feel great. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, so my doctor put me on this poison. I've been on it for about five years, and each year have had different medical problems. My bp was high, but not terribly high before this poison (150 over 95). After going on the poison it went down to 130 over 80. I don't think it's been worth it! I've had a dry cough from hell, anxiety, insomnia, weakness, itchy skin, hives, pain in my abdomen, kidney stones, tired all the time, and worst of all it has affected my complexion, as my face is now red from it dilating the capillaries in my face. Luckily I found this site, and made a choice to get off this poison. I went from 20mg 2 weeks ago to 10 mg, and have been off it for 3 days. My blood pressure is slightly higher 138 over 88, but I don't care. I feel much better!! The last 2 nights I slept like a baby, and now feel like my old self. Before the last 2 nights I have NOT slept an entire night through for FIVE years. My skin is starting to go back to its normal color, and I don't fell so anxious. This medication is poison, but the MDs will tell you how great it is. This medication is the silent killer! Anyways, I'm going to go enjoy my day. Good luck.
