Hi thank goodness i've found this website as i've been on lisiniprol for 4 months now and the side effects are awful, but because i'm taking it to help control of heart failure my DR says I must continue with it. There are some days I can't move to get out of bed because of pains in my shoulders and down my arms to my finger tips and, because I have arthritis i was thinking it had got worse, but after reading messages here I now believe its a side effect of lisiniprol. I also have dizzy spells and on one occasion I blacked out but my DR told me to hold on to something when rising to my feet. and keep exertion to a minimum. I gave up smoking a few months ago and I still have a persistent cough and some days I feel very depressed. I will now go back to her with a print out of this page and see if she is willing to believe these are side effects from the lisiniprol. As I suffer from low blood pressure normally the lisiniprol now has me down to as low as 85/48 some days and I feel crap anyway I don't think they're for me.
