Upto symptoms and conditions

im Male 40yrs old, been on Lisinopril for over 2 yrs. Started out with 10mg, now upto 20 mg. I've noticed a consistent feeling of dizzy or unsteadiness. I've also noticed my sight is strange, not able to completely focus at times and dizzy if I spin around too quickly and floaters in view. Also if sitting or driving for long periods of time, I get a head rush or pressure at the base of my neck/skull if I stand up quickly. It lasts a min or two. I feel strange slight pressure in back of my head, that won't go away. I'm about ready to change medications.
The one good thing that I've noticed is that i used to get anxiety, but have not had any at all since on the medications. It seems to have a calming effect somehow. Maybe its normalizing my pressure, im not sure. My 2 cents.

My husband is 46 years old. He has been taking Lipitor for over 8 years. He has had several of the side effects mentioned. He has had memory loss, pain in his feet and joints. He also has had problems sleeping.

In the past two months he has developed a rash. It first started on his left leg. He went to his doctor and told him of his problem. The doctor told him to just try an over the counter medicine for rashes. He tried this and it did not help. The rash is now all over his body. He has been going to a skin specialist for the last three weeks.

The doctor took him off of the Lipitor and the rash has started to clear up. It is going to leave black spots all over his body. Has anyone else out there had any of these side effects?

After my father died in mid-Oct.I had lost alot of weight due to my depression. My doctor immediately put me on amitriptyline.At first I didn't notice any side effects other than it got me to sleep at night.Of course I wasn't really noticing much of anything but then-all I did was sleep. I felt like my whole world was over-I thought I would die without my father...but I never did and that scared me more than actually dying, living in a world where there was no one to take care of me or love me like my father did-He was always my KNight in Shinning ARMOUR...My doc. kept increasing my dose upto 100mg and then one dayI just got up out of my bed and renewed my nursing license and went back to work after eight years of just being a mom and a college student. It wasscary but very exciting but I wouldn't have been able to without the help of the med. My mood was cheerful-my children even noticed a huge difference in my happy appearance it was great stuff......until I noticed that I had gained almost 45lbs. from Oct.to the end of Dec. And another 20 by Jan. I GOT FAT FAST!! The worst side effect of the med for me was that it made me crave chocolate and lots of it! I would wake up in the middle of the night and go bake chocolate cookies and then eat the whole batch all myself. My doc says that the tiny little pill couldn't be responsible for gaining 65lbs in three months. BUt he obvious ly hadn't done his research because I have since talk to many people who experienced the chocolate craving and still others who have also gained ALOT of weight. So if you want to be undepressed -it should do the job that is unless being rather over weight tends to make you depressed. LOL Can't win for loosing huh?

very dizzy. i feel like throwing up.

it does get rid of the pain. upto 90-95%.
