If you have gone off the med, like lisinopril,, can the side effects actually get worse before they go away. I went of the lisinopril six days ago. I was doing okay until last night. The dry mouth came back with a vengeance. Some folks were saying it is my body readjusting to NOT having the meds in my system. Does this seem feasible.
Hello
The plasma half-life of lisinopril is approximately 12 hours. This means that in the average person, lisinopril should disappear from the body within 3-4 days. However, since some of the effects of the drug last longer than that, the effects of this drug can last up to 1-2 weeks after stopping the drug.
Take care
