Lisinopril---norvasc (Page 3) (Top voted first)

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'm taking 40ml of Lisinopril and 5 of Norvasc for the last two months. I have gained alot of weight fast, feel puffy all the time and have really dark urine and get dizzy when I look down and then up. Doctor says it will get better..God, I hope so...I want to get off both and start on something new but doctor seems reluctant. Will I feel better, eventually??

I have the same things going on with me. Been taking the drugs since 4/12/2013 and I have decided to stop taking it.

I had a virus (possibly flu) and felt horrible about 6 weeks ago. Went to the clinic, Doc also discovered that I had high BP and put me on Lisinopril 10mg. I was sick, TIRED and dizzy from the virus and from water in my inner ears so I didn't notice any of the side effects Lisinopril may have had. But after that all cleared up (about two weeks) I was stuck in DEAD TIRED mode. I can't exaggerate how tired and scared I was. I slept a lot, trying to recover. Then I researched Lisinopril side effects. Sure enough, FATIGUE is a side effect. I don't have insurance so I decided to wean back from Lisinopril 1mg/week until I felt better. I used a pair of nail clipers and just clipped the 10mg pill a bit, taking about 10% off (1mg). After 3 days, I feel better. Not 'great', but I am not as TIRED all the time. I'll finish out the week and see if I should snip another 1mg off. But I won't do that until I have a BP cuff so I can stay focused on my BP. Sorry, I don't have actual BP#s to report. But I can say, I believe 10mg of Lisinopril may be too much for me. I'm not sure until I can see BP numbers. I am afraid to play with my dosage too much without being able to keep an eye on "the silent killer". Feeling good is NOT necessarily a sign that you are healthy. That's why they call HBP the "SILENT KILLER". Don't trust good feelings - but be aware of bad ones.

I am taking 20 mg of Lisinopril at night and I am so tired every day all I do is sleep. I have been taken this for some time but then all of a sudden for the past 4 months all I do is sleep. totally exhausted no energy at all. I was taken Metoprolol 50 mg each night but my pulse all of a sudden dropped into the 50's so they took me of from that now my pulse is around 90 to 130. but still real tired. anyone have any clue what to do.

Yes my legs were killing me and gaining weight from both of these meds . I changed my diet and my pressure is 128/85. Watch sodium intake and you will lose weight from getting off these meds !

get ready the system has lowered the numbers on the B.P. Again.they want it at 120 or less.
I have been on lisinopriol for a month or so and Analopitine for years. since ive been on the lisinopriol i have been tired and week.My brother was on it and it messed his stomach up and took a year to straighten it out.
Now we have to take charge of our own health.
it is hard to see a doctor you just get to see a nurse practitioner!

I am on .10mg. of lisinopril and .20 of amlodipine, and find I am fatigued too, but also often cannot sleep at nite in spite of that...what a mess that makes with my schedule. I stay on it tho because I have a rare platelet disease and it is doing what it is supposed to do. Never realized it might be a separate side-effect. Have you had your iron levels checked too? Mine was low and since taking supplements, my hemoglobin has gone up to near normal and it helped some.
