I took Lisinipril for 6 weeks (6 weeks too long!). After 2 weeks on the med, I developed a tickle in my throat and gradually starting experiencing a harsh cough. I thought it was because I had a cold. Was I wrong!. After 2 weeks of coughing and sleepless nights, I called my doctor and he said it was from the BP med. Took me off of it 5 days ago. I still have the tickle and hacking cough. I'm told that the cough will last 1 week to a month! It's the worst thing to go through, especially when I get the tickle and it casues me to go into a horrible coughing jag and dry heaves. I agree with the person who posted and said it's poison! Can anyone tell me how long it took them for the tickle and cough to go away after stopping Lisinopirl?
