Lisinopril and dang

I had all of the side effects that all of you have had. I also had the swelling of the mouth, etc. I went through gastroscopes, colonoscopies, every imaginable test. I was also losing my ability to process, mentally that is and I had horrible intestinal problems. Finally I spoke to my pharmacist and told him what was happening. He said it's your lisinopril, so let's get you off the lisinopril. We did so, and I will never take it again. If I did I would run the risk of antiphylatic shock. By the way, I have been off lisinopril for a month and it is wonderful. Life is more bearable now and the dang cough is gone!

Dang after reading all these side effects I am starting to gain a few I didn't have :) The worst for me is the cough ... I have been on other meds and the cough has been there but not as bad as on Lisinopril. I can't take some BP meds that are sulfa based because I am an insulin dependent diabetic and some meds shot my blood sugars past 400 ... So I can't just switch ... My BP is lower than its ever been however ...
Tiredness yes and joint and muscle stiffness definitely but I was attributing that to old age lol ... Well folks hang in there .. its sites like this that gives us information to help us get better.
