Lisinopril works! I have been taking 5mg three times a day for ye...

While it may work for you, it is PURE EVIL. Believe me on this. It has literally changed my life. And if the doctors believed me I would be in a rehab trying to get back muscle movment and jaw and throat disturbances and jaw DROP , FACE DROP , BURNING LIKE fire everywhere. loss of hear ( i hope will come back in my left ear and constant tinnitis BAD in both ears) on and on and on and on. It has CHANGED MY LIFE. I thought i was dieing SEVERAL times,. all my blood work shows NORMAL. the doctors think I am crazy! I finally went to a drematolgist because most of the NASTIEST side effects that I could not tolerate were the ITCHING AND BURNING AND NUMBNESS and ON AND ON AND ON. It has put me to the brink on insanity. NO DOCTORS could figure NAY of this out except a dermatologist did. I went to see a dermatologist in a last ditch effort and he asked what meds have changed recently and I told him lisinopril and he IMMEDIATELY said that was the culprit and has seen it MANY TIMES. You may be on a low dose and it does no affect you as much. But you better watch out. I am hoping to get my neck muscles back and my wallowing and esophagus back and my hearing back by the grace of GOD above. By th way , lisinopril is derived from the VENOM of a Brazilian PIT VIPER. Now I personally know what it feels like to be biten by a highly venomous snake in slow motion. It is pure living HELL. I would have rather been bitten by the snake itself and dealt with it than be slowly poisoned by it this way. my body has suffered, my homelife has suffered , my relationship with my doctors has suffered, I will NEVER take another drug unless it is LIFE OR DEATH that I do so and even then I will be VERY SUSPICIOUS. I have had to see neurologists , neurosurgeons, internal medicine doctors , many er trips, urologists, gastro's YOU NAME IT because of this EVIL DRUG. Th dermatologist figured it out. I even went as far as to have him take a skin punch biopsy to see what was going on at the dermatologist office. It was un-needded because he was guessing CORRECT. And believe it or NOT I am forgetting to list MANY of the nasty side effects i have suffered from this med. This has been a ride from hell for me but I am now starting a new chapter of of this CRAP.
