| Add Hydrochlorothiazide review i have found my hair has thinned remarkably with use of this drug, 1 week on this med and it has helped immensely with how I am feeling and I assume it is due to lower bp. However I am having stomach cramps, diarrhea, feeling of burning/prickling in my ankles and wrists. Going to discontinue and take somethng else severe constipation. painful stomache cramps | Add Lisinopril review This medicine worked well for me for 6 years, then 1 night I almost died from the Lisinopril. I contracted angioedema. Imeddiately was put in ICU and almost had to have a trach done. Now I can never take any medicines with Pril at the end. I can only take the white one as had a bad allergy attach from a small yellow one. Iam on Triameterene, Amalodipine, Bystolic and just about a mouth ago my doctor also added Lisinopril , now I have developed dizziness and I have fallen twice. I called my doctor and he decreased the Lisinopril to just 5mg once a day. Still dizzy. | |||
