I started using less than a month ago. It worked as soon as i started using it. The only complaint is, it causes me to have nightmares, or to dream alot. I find that if i take it in the mornings, or early afternoons, it reduces those dreams.

I have taken this drug for more than twenty five years in order to reduce my blood pressure. It has been consistent in its effectiveness with minimal side effcts. Over that time span, my doctor has increased the dosage only twice.

Lisinopril had caused my bladder to completely shut down, requiring me to see a urologist, who had to strecth my urethea. Very painful.

Even though my Blood pressure was brought under control, I had a strange allergy/reaction to this medicine. This was after a few months on this medicine. My face swelled up and I had, according to the Doctor . Angio-edema , a condition due to allergic reaction to Lisinopril. Within a week of stopping the medicine , the swelling reduced and I was back to normal.

I am 25 and had dangerous blood pressure. It was 160/120 I was scared to death. I had severe headaches too. This medicine relieved my symptoms very quickly. Now my blood pressure stays in the 119/70 range now and I haven't had a headache since I started this medicine.

My blood pressure was dangerously high. 192/106. Today it is 123/70. I am able to bend, walk, run and enjoy life again thanks to lisinopril and a lifestyle change.
