I have been taking it for almost a week. I was swimming and got this awful leg cramp and had to get out of the pool. I got some potass. pills and took a couple before I noticed it wasn't recommended. Dear me! I couldn't go to sleep last night and rolled a lot and just couldn't relax I'm hoping things get better in the next few days. My back was hurting a lot today so don't know if there is a relationship or not. I hope this gets better as this medication did take it down a lot from 166 to 110. I'm just not used to taking medication at all, but want to live awhile.

whatever you do, don't take additional potassium. lisinopril is a potassium sparing drug and when you take it, your postassium levels can spike dangerously high and hurt your heart.
of course, the irony is that potassium regulates blood pressure, so eating a whole foods diet naturally rich in potassium can keep your BP in check without resorting to drugs
