Well, it really depends on your medical history, any other conditions you are under treatment for and any other medications you are on.
All 3 of the medications you mentioned are in different classes, so they work in different ways to help lower blood pressure or prevent heart failure.
Lisinopril works by relaxing the blood vessels and it is an effective med for many people.

Norvasc, which contains the active ingredient Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker.

And Diovan contains the active ingredient Valsartan, which is an Angiotensin II Receptor Agonist.

There are many things that can affect which one is most effective for you and, for some people, only a combination of different medications is effective. I currently take 4 different types to bring down my blood pressure, for a total of 10 pills a day.
A lot of people are switched from one to the other, until they find which is the most effective.
Do you have a problem with Lisinopril and have you tried discussing this with your doctor?
