I have been on Lisinopril for about three months. Started at 10 mg/daily, but Dr increased to 20 mg/daily within a month as my blood pressure wasn't coming down as he expected. I was horrified to notice just yesterday that my face is becoming puffy and round, like it did when I took prednisone (which I no longer take - bad stuff for me). Also the weight I worked so desperately to loose from the prednisone is starting to creep back up. Have little energy and or desire to do the things I used to enjoy, frequently still feel anxiety (which I thought was caused by the high BP). Now I'm not sure about anything! Looking for good Naturopathic Doctor. Sick and tired of getting worse with all this expensive medication. My research on the side effects is unsettling. I'm a female 70 years old.
