I have extreme sensitivities to most meds. including OTC. Taking any medication is always risky for me. Usually fall into the 1% of people taking this drug developed...... I just started taking Lisinopril last night at bedtime, only a 5 mg. tablet, starting out at half a dose. Was so tired all day could barely stay awake. Also, extremely bloated gut, lots of pain and gas and a pulled-muscle sensation BEHIND my knees Had to walk with bent knees all day to lessen the pain. Can the muscle pain really start this rapidly? Also, anyone else have pain behind their knees or just cramps in calves. Was on 5 mg. of Norvasc daily.. Would rather indure the swollen ankles from that than repeat today's pain. Will take the lisinopril for total of a week. No improvements, back to Norvasc for me.

Be very careful, as side-effects can be permanent.

Rowdy,
I have been having pain behind one of my knees. I have been taking Lisinopril 20mg for almost a year. Recently, I have noticed that during driving, my accerator knee hurts tremendously. I have trouble bending it or kneeling down. I thought that I might have hurt it, but I can't remember when. My knee pain is constant. What can we do?
