I have taken lisinolpril for over a year and my BP just keeps going up and down. I have learned there are many items we drink and eat that interact with lisinolpril. Like vitamins, sleeping aides like melatonin, potassium (potassium is in a lot of vitamins and other drinks and foods) apple cider vinegar, the list is long, read your labels. I want to ask my Dr to change me to something else, can anyone advise? ## Hello Charlotte! How are you? How extreme are the fluctuations that you've been experiencing?

I am allergic to sulfa drugs. Having a hard time finding the right blood pressure medicine. Can you please help me find blood pressure meds that don't contain sulfa ## Hello, Sherrie! How are you? What specific sulfa drug or drugs have you had a reaction to? While many blood pressure medications are related, not everyone that is allergic to a sulfa drug, such as Bactrim, is also allergic to all the rest. I am a good example of that. I had a very bad reaction to Bactrim several years ago, but I am fine with blood pressure and cardiac medications. What blood pressure medications have you tried? The FDA lists the symptoms of an allergic reaction as possibly including swelling, trouble breathing, hives, itchy rash and angioedema. ## Diovan hct, zebeta, hyzaar, bystolic, cardizem, I can ...

I'm vegetarian and need to take Doxycycline other then the gelatin capsule are there anymore animal ingredients in this product? Thank you. ## Similar to what I've posted in response to your other questions on various drugs, this one is available as both a generic and quite a few brand names, therefore the inactive ingredients list can vary for each manufacturer and I can't list them all, especially since this one is available in several different forms, a liquid, a capsule and a tablet. Just as an example, under the brand name Vibramycin, other than the active ingredient Doxycycline, the inactive ingredients in the capsules are listed as: alginic acid, lactose, magnesium stearate, maize starch and sodium lauryl sulphate. But, once again, this is only for that particular nam...

can I take an over the counter sleep aid while taking sulfameth? ## It would really depend on the specific sleep aid and what it contains. Can you post back with more details, such as the one you usually use? Just as an example, there are no interactions listed between the antibiotic Bactrim (Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim) and Diphenhydramine, which is what some of them use. However, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. ## we are using spasmo proxyvon and avil,digepamn ,norphin now a days we are leaving this but we have taken this 4yr but not regularly and we have taken nitrosun 10 mg,and marijuna also now 1 week happened that we havent take this drugs. and we are not getting sleep this week.what to do?or we have to use again i dont no what to do and we are not...

Just confused as to why I really felt euphoric off of nortriptyline? ...wow....almost like mdma.....waves of euphoria... ## I am very knowledgeable and recreational drugs. .and I know and believe that I was feeling euphoric. ..I didn't do anything else but take nortriptyline. ...please respond ## There is really no way to say how anyone will respond to any given medication, since we are all different, and the FDA does list most medications as being to known to cause the opposite of their expected effects in some people that take them. For example, if I take the antidepressant Bupropion, rather than helping me with anything, it made me feel like I had drunk several pots of coffee and was bouncing off the walls. Are you still taking it? Has there been any change?
