| 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. | Add Norvasc review Took the medication for a month and developed severe shortness of breath and edema with 20 lb. weight gain. Stopped medication and symptoms disappeared. BP dropped 10 points while on medication but not worth it. Feel much better now after stoping medication. last refill had two different pills z3 and e56 After trying several drugs for hypertension my doctor arrived at calvederol and Norvasc (generic). This has has resulted in well controlled BP without negative side effects.However I have been being treated for depression and when I started the current BP treatment the depression disappeared. They've be absent for 5 months now. my Doctor put me on Norvasc 2 years ago, so far my blood pressure is staying normal for my age group | |||
