lisinopril: Lisinopril has worked great for me. My blood pressure was running 140/90 now that I take Lisinopril it's 118/74. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a safe and effective blood pressure medication.

lisinopril: I recently switched from Atenolol to Lisinopril and I feel much better. No more dizziness and my BP is great 120/78. The only thing is that after a few weeks I developed a dry cough. It's just been a few days but I might contact my doctor about it soon. I thought it was allergies but now I think it's the lisinopril.

lisinopril: The drug caused me to have breathing difficulties after being on it for 3 years. I developed what is known as hypersensitivity. If you have asthma-like symptoms, it may be from Lisinopril.

lisinopril: Have been on 20mg of this drug for 6 months. Blood pressure was 175/120. Blood pressue is no 120/85. The dry cough has gone away for the most part. I haven't lost any weight but then again, I like to eat. I feel better and definitely notice when I have not taken the drug for a couple of days. It's keeping the blood pressure in check.

lisinopril: I have been using Lisinopril 10mg for about a year. Initially I had dry coughing day and night (not to the extreme where it kept me awake at night), but enough that I thought I had an allergy or common cold and then after reading the information on this site I found that coughing is a common symptom with this drug. I also had blurred vision, cramps in my feet and hands and some headaches too, but after including an hour of combined aerobics and stretching exercises 3-4 days per week most of the symptoms are now reduced to the occasional headaches. Taking the pill with plenty of water and with food also reduced the blurred vision. In a year I have lost about 35lbs. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal and my doctor has recently lowered my dosage from 10 to 5mg.

Prinivil (lisinopril): Blood Pressure went down dramatically, my diastolic went from in the mid 90's to now mid - upper 70's. Systolic went from the mid - upper 130's to now upper teens to lower 120's.

lisinopril: Have been taking 10mg with a meal and a full glass of water for 13 months. Blood pressure (BP) has gone from 180/95 to 118/78 and body weight has gone from 200lbs to 170lbs. I was surprised that taking this medication and losing 30lbs after 13 months was enough to bring my BP to normal. At first I had muscle cramps in legs, feet and hands, but after adding 45 minutes of walking and 15 minutes of stretching 4 days a week, most of the problems are at a tolerable level, and I feel much more energetic too. During the rainy season, I check out exercise DVD's for 'Baby Boomers' from the library to keep up my exercise regimen. Doctor says if I lose another 20lbs he can lower the dosage which is incentive enough for me to add a modest diet to my regimen. I haven't felt this good in years.

lisinopril: My blood pressure (BP) was 160/102 at the doctors office. I have been on 10 mg lisinopril for almost 2 weeks now. BP is very normal, sometimes even on the low end. I might consider asking the doctor about 5 mg. I don't like being on medication. Lisinopril was about $11 for the perscription. I was previously on Cozaar, which also worked well, but cost $52.

lisinopril: I am very young and have been taking it for a couple of years now...I can tell when I forget to take it. I feel sick and have headaches all the time. Lisinopril really helped me get back to the normal active life I used to have.

lisinopril: I've been taking 5mg of Lisinopril for one week now and feel 1000 times better since it has controlled my high blood pressure with zero side effects. I am very sensitive to medicines and their side effects. The lisonopril also allows me to continue taking allergy shots (as opposed to the beta blocker I had taken before).

lisinopril: I have been taking it for over 1 year and have had no problems. My bp is normal (it was marginally high to begin). It is 10 mg/daily, but I was unable to get Kaiser Permanente insurance when I relocated and started a new job in California.
