Hello everyone. I too am experiencing the same problems described...

Yes, I did have excessive saliva. I entertain some with my guitar and folk songs. Sometimes the excess saliva would make me choke and mess up a song. The scratchy throat also kept me from hitting the high notes. I have stopped taking the drug and the conditions have improved a lot

I, too have had some other problems like a dry hacking cough. The mucus was alway clear. I would cough until I felt like I was about to vomit. I went to the drug store and purchased some over the counter drugs for coughing. After taking the over the counter drugs I continued this dry hacking cough. It only happened at certain times of the day and at night when I was about to fall asleep, and suddenly I could not sleep due to excessive coughing. I also noticed my body was getting very stiff and getting from sitting down in a chair to standing upright was painful, stiff, and difficult. I am struggling hard trying to lose weight and that is difficult. I cook and eat right , and I have joined the fitness center to excerise 3 days per week..I had a triple bypass on 7-31-07. After surgery, my 4 doctors put me on lisinopril. At first it was doing the job of better controlling my blood pressure. As of 7-16-09, I went to my family doctor for this dry hacking cough I was experiencing. I told him about my symptoms, and he said, "It is the lisinopril that's causing the cough.". He took me off two of my meds I was taking to contol my blood pressure.becase they both can cause the dry cough.. He was the one who put me on this medication after my heart surgery , and the other three doctors agreed with the meds he had put me on-and above all- my heart surgeon, and my cardiologist took a look at the meds and agreed the meds was okay for me to take them..

Bottom line-we need insurance in order to help with our cost of medical care. In the meantime, you better check out the medication your doctor has put you on. They do not look to see what meds you are presently taking and their possible side effects it has on your vital organs. We have to pay them for a service they render and like a revolving door we must check behind. them so we won't die from a medical mix up.
The doctors tend to forget about the medical code ethics they accepted to give patients the best of medical care. They seem to put emphasis on writing prescriptions and getting a healthy finanical kick back from pharmaceutical endorsements.. They need to realize that giving someone the wrong meds or a poor or unbalanced combination of meds can cause human beings to lose their life.to death..Does the pharmaceitical endorsements outweigh the doctor- patient concerns and wellness?

Yes, the constant salivation and throwing up froth up to 7 times per day, not to mention my doctor has made me undergo a number of test due to my unexplainable condition only to find absolutely nothing. Again, I have never been so sick in my entire life. I spent almost a month not being able to do anything and feeling that living was not worthwhile anymore. All of this I have attributed to this Lisinopril. Funny, but my doctor never raised the possibility of this medicine making me sick but now I refuse to take it. By the way, I have also lost the pleassure of eating, have absolutely no appetite whatsoever, I have to force myself to eat. Had I not researched Lisinopril on my own, I would have been subjected to many unecessary medical tests and so much sickness and unimaginable pain.
