I have been using Lisinopril for just about a month and have not had any of these absurd side effects that everyone keeps talking about. This medication has lowered my blood pressure dramatically. The only side effect that I did experience for the first two weeks was nausea and diarrhea. Other than that I seem to be perfectly fine. As long as you take it how you are supposed to and don't miss a dosage, you are fine. We are not doctors and we can but shouldn't make the decision to stop a medication. It is life threatening and you should get a second opinion if you are not happy with your "experience" with the medication.
