I have been on 2.5 mg of Lisinopril for about 3 months. I have also been on Tenormin 25 mg and 12.5 mg. chlorthalidone for over 20 years with virtually no side effects to those two medications (with the exception of low pulse of under 60 bpm from the Tenormin). After starting the Lisinopril, I developed a twitch in my right eyelid which is almost constant, a dry cough from hell that persists especially at night, fatigue and a "down" feeling. I never had the twitch, the cough, dizziness, fatigue or the down feeling prior to the Lisinopril. It did lower my BP from about 140/90 to 125/80 (or lower), but the side effects are terrible. I have always been sensitive to medications and take only very small amounts of any medications. Because of my past problems with medications, I am very aware of my body and any abnormal side effects. I have tried other BP medications and had side effects. I have a very understanding doctor and have an upcoming dr appointment and will look into change of this medication. I am not an easy candidate for medication. This is a gret website. I knew my side effects were from the Lisinopril, but got confirmation here. These forums are very helpful.
