@janni1 Lisinopril is a blood pressure medication. Have you been monitoring your blood pressure since being taken off the lisinpril, or did they replace it with something else?

Good morning Ginger. Yes, I have been monitoring my BP. It has been pretty good for the most part. I was never taken off lisinpril, my Doctor reduced the dose from 20mg to 10 mg. My Doctor never replaced it. I am sorry for the late response, I have been resting. I had a rough night last night. Horrible neuropathy. I felt pretty good through Friday, even felt optimistic, but, at about 9:30 the neuropathy came back with a vengeance. I took my gabapentin 100mg,(Instructed to take at bedtime) and that did not make a dent for any relief. Last night I got scared because on the left side of my head, I got sharp pains. It did go away. I sit here depressed racking my brain why, all of a sudden, I have neuropathy. It came out of no where. The Hospital ran tests, they don't know why, and prescribe gabapentin. I have a question for you, is gabapentin bad for kidneys. Thanks Ginger.
