@Parus tell Dr he can prescribe something else hopefully . I worry about you keeping you up n my prayers

@parus I believe you are in danger when you have life-changing side effects with certain medicines like you describe. This is an emergency, or should be as you described it. When you encounter events like this, your first thought would be well to call your doctor and tell him/her to come up with a solution - that taking this med is not an answer - it's bad enough that you already paid the pharmacy for it and will need to dispose of it. This is the true test of a decent doctor. If the doctor doesn't respond positively to your misery and your danger, then it's time to fire and hire a better doctor that actually cares about his/her patients (not that I wish to be crass). Remember also that your body belongs to you, and you always have the right to say no.

@parus I had no idea that lisinopril could effect a person as you mention. Isn't that a blood pressure drug? If I am remembering that correctly I had it a number of years ago because my bp was running high. The only bad effect I got from it was a constant cough. When I went to my doctor because I was coughing all of the time she immediately knew it was from the lisinopril and changed me to a different bp medication. Assuming you are on lisinopril for high bp perhaps there is a different drug that you could be on. I can't remember what I was switched to, it was quite a number of years ago.
