BEEM TAKING ZESTERIL/LISINOPRIL ABOUT 10 YEARS THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON LISINOPRIL. I STARTED DEVELOPING DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO ALONG WITH MENTAL FOGGINESS. MIND WANDERING, EXCESSIVE NON STOP THINKING THAT WAS UNUSUAL SUBCONSCIOUS PROBLEM SOLVING.

ALL OF 2009 I STARTED DEVELOPING OTHER SYMPTOMS - PERSISTENT PAINFUL HEART BURN WAS THE WORST - PERSISTENT FEAR AND DEPRESSION AROUND THE CLOCK - MIS TRUST OF EVERYONE EVERYTHING - COULD NOT WATCH TV SHOW DUE TO SENSITIVITY TO SENSE PRESENTED - I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS ALL THE TIME - THIS WAS AROUND THE CLOCK - I WOULD FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING TO FAINT A LOT THOUGH THE BP WAS BELOW NORMAL
MARCH OF 2010 WAS THE END OF MY LISINOPRIL - I GOT UP IN THE MORNING MY BP WOULD BE NORMAL I WOULD CHECK WHEN I GOT TO WORK STILL NORMAL - BECAUSE OF THE FAINTING POSSIBILITY I HAD GONE TO TAKE LISINOPRIL WHEN I GOT TO WORK - 1 TO HOURS AFTER TAKING IT MY BP WOULD SHOOT UP SKY HIGH 160 OVER 100 AND IF I MOVED I WOULD ALMOST FAINT - I COULD BARELY WORK AT THE COMPUTER - I THOUGHT IT WAS EATING TOO MUCH SALT - SO I CUT THE SALT OUT - IT IMPROVED SOME WHAT - THE WEEK END OF MARCH 26, 27, 28TH I GOT THE WORST DEPRESSION HISTORY WHILE VISITING MY BROTHERS - I DO NOT KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD ENDURE THAT - MY BP WAS AGAIN DOING ITS THING - THAT WEEK END I SWORE OFF THIS CRAP FOR I HAD SOME LEFT OVER ENALIPRIL THAT I HAD FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANIES INSISTING I SWITCH ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (VASOTEC/ENALIPRIL ARE SUPER POSITIVE DRUGS DEPRESSION FREE FROM MY EXPERIENCE) - MONDAY MARCH 29 WAS THE FIRST DAY OF ENALIPRIL - 2 HOURS IN THE BP AGAIN SHOT UP AND THE FAINT WITH NAUSEA SYMPTOMS RETURNED - IT GOT BETTER QUICKER - TUESDAY MARCH 30th I JUST HAD SEVER NAUSEA NO BP SHOOT OR FAINTING - WEDNESDAY MARCH 31 MINOR NAUSEA LASTING 15 MINITS - THURSDAY APRIL 1ST no nausea - went to the doctor demanding that i be put on captopril the best version of vasotec - friday today i did not start the captopril for i got up my bp was now superlow 88/54 i decided that was low enough and i am going to stay of captopril until i get reading that it is going up again - i also decided not to keep taking bp med on days like today when it is this low and that was most days while i took zestril and lisinopril
the moods and side effect all started with zestril and lisinopril sky rocketed them - dont know if this would have happened on zestril -
vasotec my original bp med i started on was discontinued at the request of GREAT WEST INSURANCE COMPANY which my employer had because they prefered i take zestril - i was doing great on VASOTEC - i noticed the difference in mood immediately after the switch
one my close friends a diabetic died 2 weeks ago - his symptoms sound exactly like mine before he died
thus i think LISINOPRIL was killing me - i certainly would not recommend this crap to a diabetic at all which i am not - if it would do this to me how fast would it do it to someone less healthy like that
if you are on this keep your bp meter with you at all times - if you are buying supplements to relieve feeling such as depression, muscle cramps, heart burn, mood swings - go see the doctor and get off of it - i was doing 4 to 6 hours worth of super hard physical exercise a day and experiencing no improvement at the end, i pushed myself to litteral physical exhaustion - if you find your exercise does not relieve stress as i did go to doctor and get off it - the no 1 mental depression trait you feel you are fighting a losing battle - go see the doctor and get off of it
other physical symptoms i am 55 years old my skin got super thin - a minor scratch or prick would cause bleeding a minor bump would bruise - since monday when i changed it stopped skin is thickening up from an appearance resembling 80 year old's skin - if you have these symptoms go to the doctor and get off of it
your life depends on it - don't tell the doc you have had increase in your bp, he will keep on whats killing you and just add another bp med to it - insist on a change first - if that dont help
if you are having anxieties your brain is going to tell you " you could be wrong " be assertive and get off of it at least onto something better for you
believe me -the day i started enalipril turned the whole mess around for me and it took just 5 days
i have been thanking god all week long and all day long today - this has been unreal
good luck
