I was on it for less than a year and I hated it. It caused severe headaches and finally out of the blue I had an allergic reaction and my doctor took me off of it...I hated lysinopril.

Yes, it can. It may not be the most common side effect, but it is one of them. I'm actually speaking to my Dr about a different medication as the sudden edema/weight gain is simply too uncomfortable.

Been on it for a few years. No weight gain, no bloating, no cough. I haven't lost the weight I wanted to yet in order to get off it, but that's not related to the med at all.

Dr. prescribed Lisinopril 20mg to reduce blood pressure; works wonderful for that purpose. Side effects include dry cough & fatigue, but not to the point where it interferes with my life. I think it's a great medicine noticed immediate results. To know more about the drug visit here http://www.internationaldrugmart.com/lisinopril.html

QUOTE: When I was on it, I did not gain or retain water. I did get uncontrollable coughs. Same here. I didn't think the cough was from the Lisinopril because it started before I started that med. Turned out the cause was a combo of the med and allergies.

QUOTE: does anyone know if taking Lisinopril (high blood pressure medication) will cause you to gain weight or retain water? I take Lisinopril with HCTZ and it has never made me gain weight or retain water. On the contrary, as all I do is visit the potty all day. Can't wait to lose enough weight to get off of it.

I had a constant dry cough. It was like a tickle in my throat that would not go away.

I have been on it for 10+ years for heart failure. I have noticed no weight gain with it. Everyone is different if its new and your gaining I'd mention it to your doc.

I was on that and lost 40lbs from Jan to May 2012, so I'd say, nope, you won't gain. :) Oops, I forgot this, after the 40lb loss I was able to go off it! My blood pressure slowly started to go down and it made me super tired, nauseous and eventually I couldn't walk without getting out of breath. My Dr. said I could stop taking it and my bp never went up.
