Question 1

is it better to separate and take furosemide, aldactone and lisinopril at different times. does taking them together have any short comings. 
i still feel a little tiredness at times climbing long stirs an uphill. ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some studies have shown taking a non-diuretic B.P. medication may offer better cardiovascular protect against major cardiovascular events (MACE), stroke heart attack, fatal stroke, and fatal heart attack. I would advise taking the lisinopril at bedtime, and the furosemide earl in the am. The aldactone, though a diuretic,  acts slowly...take in the am.

Question 2

i know water pills can be prescribed together, but is taking them(furosemide, aldactone, lisinopril and clopidogrel) separately at different times a better option? and i do get diarrhoea, tiredness climbing uphill in the midst of taking them.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Furosemide &amp; aldactone are both considered “water pills” but clopidogrel is a type of blood thinner &amp; lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor not a water pill per se.  If furosemide &amp; aldactone &amp; lisinopril are all taken together, that could lower the blood pressure enough to cause some fatigue, so perhaps best to take the furosemide &amp; aldactone in the am &amp; the lisinopril in the evening before bedtime.

Question 3

should lisinopril be taken at night and does it make you tired?

Accepted Answer

Lisinopril: Lisinopril does not need to be taken at night. It can make some people tired but in general that isn't a common symptom unless blood pressure is low.

Question 4

taking 80mg propanolol, 20mg lisinopril and 5mg tadalafil daily. i feel tired, off-balance and unstable. related?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible your heart rate or your blood pressure or both could be too low.  These should be checked out.  There are many other reasons, so would recommend seeing your physician for an evaluation for this and for other considerations - anemia, thyroid, neurologic, etc.

Question 5

why does prinivil (lisinopril) cause fatigue and depression?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: These are not common side effects, but hypotension is.  this can feel like fatigue and depression.  Why not discuss this with your prescribing physician.

Question 6

my new neurologist told me my b.p. was too low. i take lisinopril hydrothorize. could this be making me tired? should i stop it?

Accepted Answer

Lisinopril: Lisinopril lowers BP. It's also used for kidney disease and heart failure. If your BP is too low, you may be excessively tired. Before considering stopping the lisinopril, you should understand the reason why it was first prescribed, so you should contact the provider who prescribed it and discuss it with him/her.

Question 7

exp unusual fatigue with amlodipene + lisinopril or metopro. before amlo + tenormin (atenolol)? no fatigue feeling??why?

Accepted Answer

Medication: Why were  you switched from the prior regimen? It appears that the culprit may be Lisinopril since you were on Amlodipine before also and did not have any symptoms. I would contact the physician who prescribed these meds and have them switched over.

Question 8

i would like to lower my dosage of atenelol from 50 mg a day. i am experiencing extreme fatigue, ed, i also take hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) and lisinopril.

Accepted Answer

Talk to doc: This is not the place for you to ask this question. You really need to talk to your cardiologist about this combination of drugs- all of which can make you tired even by itself.  If you need all these drugs just to keep your BP down, you need a good workup. If you also have very low potassium level, hyperaldosteronism needs be ruled out as well. Get a 2nd opinion if you must.

Question 9

is it important to wean off metoprolol prior or while taking lisinopril?  was switched because of the fatigue. was told to dc met,start lisinopril.

Accepted Answer

It depends on your: prior dose of metoprolol. if you were raking 100 mg a day or more, you should be weaned off the metprolol so your heart rate does not speed up when you stop.

Question 10

i am on lisinopril, toprol, (metoprolol) hctz.  i am always tired, always wanting to sleep, no energy and now breathing heavily

Accepted Answer

Check BP: Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.  It is possible that  your blood pressure and heart rate are low.  If you blood pressure is too low ( &lt; 90/60) then you may want to hold or decrease lisinopril.  If your heart rate is under 40  you should be evaluated immediately.
