Hi I am from Nepal, and I am 28 years young, male. I have been taking Lisinopril for about 2 years now. At the beginning this drug seemed to have no side effects at all but as the days progressed I could see the side effects. As side effects started to climb up hill day after day, my friend suggested me to consult my physician immediately. So I consulted my physician yesterday and he told me to do an array of tests; blood test including thyroid hormone test, ECG, and chest X-Ray. My reports will come in due 1 weak time. For now my doctor has changed this medication and given me amlodipine and atenolol combination and its trade name is "amlobet" (manufactured in india by: sun pharmaceutical industries). I took 1 dose yesterday and some of my symptoms seemed to disappear, but I'm quite not sure whether its my Psychology that has contributed to the sudden disappearance of some symptoms or the drug itself. I still have to take this medication for some time to make sure of it. Some side effects experience during Lisinopril intake: 1. Extreme fatigue and lack of interest in doing day to day work this symptom has disappeared as i started on the new medication. 2. Depression like feeling specially early in the morning and at night times. 3. Waking up in the middle of the night. 4. Vivid dreams. 5. Foggy thinking. 6. Nervousness. 7. Palpitation. 8. Anxiety. 9. Profuse sweating. 10. Shaking of hands and legs during nervousness. 11. Slight Memory loss. 12. Lack of concentration. 13. Mood swing (extreme). 14. Dullness (extreme). As I progress on this new medication I will update this blog. And I'l also give information regarding my blood tests and ECG tests after my report comes. For now this much. But I recommend Lsinopril users to consult their respective physician seriously before taking this medication and consult even if you are on the medication. This drug seems to pass the blood brain barrier and reach the brain so it affects the central nervous system directly which is not the case in some HBP medications like; amlodipine, atenolol etc.
