This ACE inhibitor has me so messed up. So discouraged as I was doing better. This happened before w/ those stupid 6 month check-ups designed to enable quality health. Designed to line corporate pockets!! Started this on on Monday. Let my body adapt I am told. What about my mind that is so frightened now because the body cannot obey instructions?? I cannot even hold a pencil!! I am ready stop this med and risk a stroke which may come about because this med has me scared. Anyone else experience something like this? This is scary for me. Thing is my BP is not that high and fluctuates. This feels awful and too much like those awful psyche meds. Maybe that is why I am so frightened.

@parus It's a catch-22 situation. Definitely call a professional into your dilemma. Always here to lend a shoulder to lean on...

Hi @parus
I'm sorry to hear that you are still struggling with the meds. I don't believe you ever mentioned the dosage of Lisinopril. Do you know what it is? Can you ask your doctor about cutting it in half (if it is a tablet) and trying that for a week or two?
It might be worth a phone call. ACE Inhibitors are some of the safer BP drugs because they don't result in kidney damage like many of the others do.
