Hello,
I first started taking Lisinopril about a year ago, then later my doctor added HCTZ. At the start I did have issues with dry cough that sometimes even kept me awake all night, but after that cleared up in a couple of weeks, I thought I won’t have any more side effects. Unfortunately, I don’t think this is the case now.
I’m having big problems with concentration and and I don’t seem to be motivated to do anything besides wanting to crash into my bed and sleep the rest of the day. Could Lisinopril/ HCTZ be causing my symptoms?

People with kidney problems must be monitored extremely carefully, as Prinivil can make kidney function worse. Even normal people should have their physician monitor the kidneys periodically.

Your suspicion is correct. hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) can cause drowsiness, trouble concentrating and memory problems, whereas lisinopril can cause unusual tiredness or weakness, and confusion. Contact your doctor about these serious side effects immediately.

Thank you for your replies!
I called my doctor's office and went in for an appointment yeasterday. Even though he insisted that it's possible I was confused due to stress or work, I insisted he orders a kidney and liver function tests, so I'm waiting to hear the results soon. At least he took me of Lisinopril/ HCTZ for now and I do feel slightly better.
