Back in 1999 I was put on 10mg of lisinopril. About 4 years ago it went to 20 mg. All during this time, I have been having the following effects and were all explained to various doctors over the past 13 years.
They are as follows: Headaches, which were classified as migraines, so have been taking Imitrex when helps about 10 pills a month. Three bouts of depression, two bouts of dizziness, metal taste in my month on and off for years. Had all my filling replaced and still no change. Dry cough, tiredness, neck pain, frequent urination. I starting doing some research on this drug and all the above seem to be side effects, that my Dr's never told me about. I told my Doctor that I was going cold turkey on lisinopril and I would monitor my own blood pressure. It has been six days and all metal taste is gone. Also other effects are starting to go away. How long will it take for all the medication to leave my body? Will I have permanent damage for taking this medication so long? Do you think it will stop the migraines?
