Lisinopril---norvasc (Page 2)

I am concerned about taking both prescriptions, as I am tired all the time. I tell my Dr., but he says if it keeps the pressure down keep taking them. Just wondered if I am the only one out there feeling this way.

I currently lower the lisinopril 10mg twice a day, less tired, but my B/P is 142/79.

I have been taking Lisinopril for 7 years now and the tired feeling never leaves. My legs and knees hurt all the time like I ran back to back marathons. I work out 4 days a week but the running hurts so much i can harly make it 30 min on the treadmill. I need off of this stuff....good luck all.

Why is there so little info on the gas side effect for Lisinopril?

Started on Lisinoprill 2 weeks ago and now I must use Metamucil everyday to stop constipation, but with or without the Metamucil the gas is outrageous. I thought it was my change in diet that accompanied the hypertension diagnosis, but after reading this site and one or two others I am becoming convinced its the Lisinipril. Its been prescribed for over 20 years, you would think there would be more documentation on the gas and constipation side effects.

I have been on lisenipril 20/12 for (the 12mg is a duretic) about 3 years now, my energy level is great, no leg pain, but I did have trouble the first few months adjusting to the sluggish feeling, I almost quit taking it. After a few months it leveled out, I walk 3 blocks to and from work everyday, excersice about 10 minutes 3 times a week, and feel great but I do get tired about an hour after getting home from work, so much so that I now take a nap every day-a little strange for a 43 year old.
I think it is just takes an adjustment period to get use to the medicine, because I have had times that I did not get my prescription refilled in time and I can tell the difference in my energy levels and headaches, it is like starting all over again with the medication.

I Have been taking Lisinopril for about 5 years now for an assist in my kidneys to keep my blood pressure down, I'm only 22! Everyday I feel like i'm battling a flu.. It seems to me that it messes with your nerves. It constantly makes me sick to my stomach. sometimes it feels like i'm having a panic attack or something, i lose my appitite to eat all the time. A couple times i took myself off of the medication to see what would happen and yes, my blood pressure rose a little but by the next day i felt like a god.. no sickness no nerves messing with me... next time i see my doc i'm definitely changing it to something else.. Lisinopril has ade my life a living hell!!

Tried amlodopine for about six months, finally stopped taking it when I started having heart palpitations and asthma one night. Up to that point, I had begged the Veterans Admin doctor to give me something instead of the amlodopine, which caused me to urinate every 15 minutes, night and day, thereby exacerbating the chronic interstitital cystitis that I also have. Then, the doc put me on lisinopril. Three months after starting the lisinopril, I have vomiting, joint pain, lower back pain, asthma, fatigue, mental confusion (at times) and to top off the list - ITCHING. I am going to try exercise, losing weight, and herbs.

I get little sleep but am not tired or fatiqued. Last night I got less than 45-minutes of sleep, yet worked all day and am still not tired this evening. This doesn't seem normal. I don't abuse alcohol or drugs, and am in excellent health and the same weight I was at age 17 (I am now 80-years old.) What's going on?

Eat a proper diet and exercise and you shouldn't have these side effects

I was on lisinopril then dr switched me to norvasc. Norvasc makes me very sick with headaches, upset stomach, insomnia, flushing and sweating like I'm going through menopause! Going back to the dr. Norvasc is horrible by itself, I'd change Drs. You are the only one that knows your body better than anyone. Not uncommon to prescribe both together. Good luck!

I was taking 40 mg of Lisinopril for several years. When my pressure rose recently my Dr. put me on first 5 and then 10 mg of Amlodipine. My pressure is now about 145/85 but I am light headed or dizzy at times

if we all ate right & exercised, most would not have high blood pressure. I'm sorry i ever started Norvasc & now several years later they add a water pill that does little or nothing for the BP & now they add Lisinopril. What next if i live ?

My husband was given both Lisinopril 10 mg & Norvasc 5 mg, he took it for a few days & stopped due to the side effects w/o telling his doctor. This is the 2nd time it was adjusted for him, so instead of asking he just decided to stop it all at once. Telling him to take it leads to a fight, however he wants to compromise now on just taking Norvasc. I feel that one is better than none. Did anybody else did this and actually work?

I am a 49 yr old male, active duty, Air Force. Doc put me on 20mg linsopril couple of weeks ago. Tried to run on tread mill and after 3 minutes, felt like I might pass out and had pounding or uneven heartbeat. Started to suspect linsopril so I looked up side effects on google. I am suffering from most of them to include: chills, body aches, flu symptoms, tired feeling, muscle weakness, muscle aches, runny nose, sneezing, dry cough that won't go away, urinating less and diarrhea. I quit taking it as I can't pass my PT. You better be aware of the side affects if your doc puts you on this drug. Side effects are wicked.

you are doing the right thing by breaking the pill...sometimes if the pharmacy doesn't have the right dose, they tell me to just break the pill to get the correct dosage....hope this ease your concerns....
