Been on this for near 5 yrs. No side effects I like it coz its flexible. Started with the 20/25mg dose, but after 3 months gym, doc dialed it down to 20/12 when he was surprised it went back to near normal after I hit they gym. Its cheap and I like that I can split it in 2 if running low. Disclaimer:Im a blk man with hereditary BP so only weigh 145 but in stress BP gets to 150/100 or when I dont r ... Show Full Comment

Its cheap and I like that I can split it in 2 if running low. Disclaimer:Im a blk man with hereditary BP so only weigh 145 but in stress BP gets to 150/100 or when I dont renew prescription and freestyle diet, I start to feel warning headaches and its 178/110 months later on extreme stress days. Just started reading about this and trying to wean myself off lisinop given the long term liver risk. Ironically if I hit the gym hard and watch my diet, I can drop to normal BP with NO meds but then am weighing about 130lbs and ppl look at me like.. due, are you sick, yet am healthiest then but the trade-off is almost a caveman diet and looking wiry at 5'11. Im married already so it dont bother me and my sex drive is normal. Am just worried about long term and want to steer clear as much as possible till I may need it later when my frame cant keep up with the high impact cardio and gym routines. Also have to make tough choices. Food I'd eat freestyle and not worry about weight gain leaves sodium / sugar bombs for my heart. Such is life...aah the trade-offs to stave off early death.

After one month doctor took me off hydrochlorothiazide-lisinopril, elbow pain went away, he put me on just lisinopril 20mg and amlodipine 10mg. Too early to tell whether I have any side effects.

Took this for about four years. I had the cough at the beginning, but I thought I was pretty much symptom free. Had a bout of acute pancreatitis with no known cause, and then kept having recurring small 'flares' that I could derail by not eating for a few days. Finally a nurse I knew told me that her dad found that Lisinopril was causing his pancreatitis issues. Asked the doc to take me of ... Show Full Comment

Finally a nurse I knew told me that her dad found that Lisinopril was causing his pancreatitis issues. Asked the doc to take me off, been off it for four months or so and zero problems with the pancreas flares. Unfortunately having problems finding another med that works with no side effects.

I have been taking this for HBP for around 3 months. So far I have not had any negative side effects and it has significantly reduced my blood pressure.
