Tayo Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hello Pete, Cough is a common side effect for ACE inhibitors and Lisinopril falls into that category. Cozar is a great drug to switch to and falls into a different category of drugs (ARBS). That should do the trick in treating your hypertension (HTN). Keep in mind, I do not know your history, etc. Normally, if your blood pressure needs a little more help, they may add a diuretic component. Still, it is one pill,,, Hyzar ---(Cozar + Hydrochlorothiazide). Celexa is also a good drug for mood disorders (a wide range of things falls under this category ). A common side affect for this is a decrease in libido. Stomache aches, etc. are also a side effect of this drugs. But, if you are okay with this drug,,, continue with it. ;-) Good health to ya, Tayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Sanders Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Celexa, like all ssri's I seem to be overly sensitve to, they work for a couple weeks, (and I feel the effects after only 3-5 days) then after a couple to three weeks I turn into a zombie, quiet, drooling, increaase of SI. After my VA doc running me thru a gambit of them at different doseages, he asked if I would try one more, Buspar. It is working fine for the last month, no side effects, well maybe a slight sexual effect. Still have all the same emotions, but a drop, but not eliminated depression, decrease in SI. Hope it works for you. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Tbird Posted July 17, 2008 Founder Share Posted July 17, 2008 i've been on celexa for years now it works really good for me but i do take 80mgs a day, it's a high dose but it gets me up and moving about, and it works better for me than anything i've taken so far, i also take atavan for anxiety, but the celexa is the one that keeps me going. don't forget to reorder the withdrawal sucks.
