I take 225 mg of Effexor for Depression and .25mg of Klonopin for anxiety. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for 14 years. The Effexor is the best depression medication I have ever taken and have been taking it for over four years. My Doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lisinopril for high blood preasure and I have been taking it for almost three weeks. Since I started taking it, I have noticed an increase in my anxiety and have had a couple mild panic attacks. I am sure it is being caused by the Lisinopril and am going to talk to my Doctor about switching to a different medication for my blood preasure. It is sort of ironic in that the Effexor has a side effect of causing high blood preasure and that is why I am taking Lisinopril.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Lisinopril. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Lisinopril, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways.
