For High Blood Pressure "Been on this drug quinapril for 4 years, have been off balance and dizzy inside my head the whole time on this drug. Works half the time, just wondering if it's the drug causing this off balance dizziness, as I can't think of anything else causing it. It's been a very hard struggle not having my balance, finding a new doctor to take me seriously and figure this out."

Quinapril for High Blood Pressure "Have had no debilitating side effects from this medication at 10 mg. I did notice on my last blood test my potassium was up, but not out of range. Was tired for the first few weeks, get cold hands and feet if outside, but it's manageable. The effects of this medicine seem to diminish after starting, my BP is slowly rising. I have gained some weight, which might have caused the increase. Working on removing the excess now."

For High Blood Pressure "Have been on Quinapril 40 for 22 years. It can cause dizziness, but all in all it has worked well. I currently take 2x a day. If dizzy, get up slowly from a seat or bending over, and it will be less of a factor."

For High Blood Pressure "Took it for a little over 6 months - Quinapril HCL 40 mg along with Amlodipine Besylate 5 mg and 1/2 a pill of Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg. The cough got to be excessive. Of course, I do smoke, but I know the difference between smoker's cough and something else. Switched to Benicar 20 mg, after 7 days, side effects just too much, and it is so expensive. Quit the Benicar. The coughing is very annoying but will have to try it again as it is like the only medicine that I can afford right now. Everyone is different, but it is okay as far as I am concerned for me."

For High Blood Pressure "I have now tried 11 hypertension medicines. I found that quinapril gives me a headache, but not as bad as most of the others. It also makes me dizzy, but not as bad as some of the others. And like all the ACE inhibitors, it does lower my blood sugar some, but not as bad as lisinopril or any of the beta blockers. All of the medicines I've tried have contributed to impotence, but unlike the comments of a previous reviewer, I found that quinapril was the least guilty of the lot. Strangely, since they are both ACE inhibitors, lisinopril is the most guilty."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been using this Quinapril 20 mg for about one and a half months in place of the telmisartan 20 mg, and now I started having a very annoying cough. At the beginning, I didn’t know this was a side effect of this medicine. Then I searched online and noticed that it was because of Quinapril. I called my doctor and told her about this issue, and she asked me to stop taking it. I will ask her to give me a different medicine. I don’t know how long it would take to get rid of this annoying cough."

For High Blood Pressure "People mention a cough as a potential side effect. I've hardly noticed this at all, but what I have noticed is that this medicine interferes with getting a good erection. Skipping a dose (or delaying it until after sex) does help (assuming your doctor says that it is okay to skip or delay a dose). Of course, on the other hand, I was on a different high blood pressure medicine years ago, and it was way worse in this regard. And, yes, erectile dysfunction medicines will help overcome the effect. I've been using quinapril for many years-started with 20 mg once a day and eventually went to 40 mg once a day. It has worked reasonably well. Note that users of the medicine in this class (ACE inhibitors) sometimes end up with cold hands and feet. This is generally an issue in cold climates."
