Get a pill counter box to avoid the issue.

Question 2

metformin, zocor, (simvastatin) lisinopril could any of these affect nervous system?

Accepted Answer

Not common : What do you mean aby nervous side effects? 
Anything in medicine can cause something or some type of side effect. The golden question is : is it common to cause nervous side effectrs and the answer is absolutely not.  What i intermittently encountered that metformin can cause shortness of breath which can cause much anxiety.

Question 3

have taken losartan 5 days and is causing low back and leg cramps/aching i went back to my lisinopril how long to be out of system and effects fade?

Accepted Answer

Not sure if: your symptoms are side effects of your new medication.  It usually takes no more than 1 or 2 days for any drug to clear from your body, but it is a gradual process.  Other potential problematic scenariors:  Drug metabolites can hang around for longer, tissue drug levels can sometimes take longer than blood levels, any damage that it might have caused can take longer to heal. Consult your doctor.

Question 4

started lisinopril 10 mg via er until can see doctor. headache since starting 4 days ago, will it stop longer am on it or not? what to take for it?

Accepted Answer

Headache: Can be a side effect of lisinopril, it may go away with continued use of the drug, if you can put up with it until it subsides or you get to see your doctor, that would be fine, if not, you can try acetaminophen  (tylenol), unless contraindicated, if no improvement go to ER or urgent care center, it may not be the lisinopril, wish you well

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Not safe...: So sorry you are having financial difficulties. But, not treating hypothyroidism can be life-threatening. If you have hypertension, not treating it could result in heart attack, stroke and could also be life-threatening. Call your doctor and discuss your financial issues as there are typically payment plan options. Pharmaceutical companies often have programs to help as well-talk to pharmacist.
