I started taking Lisinopril 10 mg dose and I felt real dizzy. This was on my second day on this. Is this normal? Does your body just have to get used to it? I have good blood pressure but it dropped today to 60/90 after this medication. This is for the reason to protect my kidneys (because Altace was not approved). Did anyone experience this?

I have been taking 10 mg dose of Lisinopril for approximately one month. I am experiencing severe muscle cramping. In addition, I notice it is worse on days when I've eaten bananas or if I drink pomagranate juice.I didn’t realize there is a caution on the label regarding non use of salt substitutes and that would be potassium chloride. I am not sure what to do, but I ma not satisfied with Lisinopril.

I do know a few people taking this and they are at 5mg. I am now taking it and my dosage is 12.5mg and it does make you dizzy, halucinate etc. I have found by taking this that my body had to get used to it and I take it early in the am and now it isn't so bad. I have been on it for 4 months now. I have not seen any drop in my BP as of yet. Also since it was your second day then your body will get used to it, but expect dizziness. For me it just made me feel like my mind was constantly wondering aimlessly.. Good luck
