I have been off the drug 4 days now. My BP is running around 175/85. This is to high. My doctor is supposed to call me tomorrow and let me know what to do. I refuse to take the lisinopril ever again.

I am sure your dr. will prescribe a different drug for high blood pressure. As I suggested before, there are many natural products/alternatives . . . instead of taking drugs that cause side effects . . .why give your $$ to the drug co's ??

how's your diet? whole foods, rich in potassium (which you can have when you are on lisinopril) and lots of garlic will help regulate BP and do lots of other great things for your health

I am on a very healthy diet. My docter called me today and he refused to prescrib anything else. I told him I was not going to take lisinopril. He made me an appointment to see him in a week. I took it on myself to increase the dose of one of my other meds he had halved the dose on. My BP is slowly coming back down. Still not where it needs to be but at least it's coming down. I will keep going this way until I see him in a week. Then if he still want go along with me I have to find a new docter. I'll keep you posted.
