Thank you Very little ![]() |
Same issues with Lisinopril as V-Tail, a dry cough, got off it and eventually it went away. You should consult your physician about stopping the prescription BP if you haven't and substituting the Taurine. | |||

Dunno. I use the powder because I was running an exercise performance-enhancing stack already. It was easy to just add it to that. Oh, I'll inform her, of course. My guess is she'll be skeptical and recommend I not do that ![]() Never mind the one that wanted to put me on SSRIs, after having me on Xanax 3 x day, for mild depression/anxiety, which I solved, first, with St. John's Wort (only known side-effect: Sun sensitivity), then, more effectively, with exercise and an attitude correction. Third physician back, a DO, was far more open-minded. That's one reason I usually prefer DOs over MDs. But the local osteopathic hospital isn't great, so we're kinda sorta stuck with MDs.

I take the 1000 MG capsules from LEF.ORG. https://www.lifeextension.com/...ts/item01827/taurine I stopped for a week and noticed my blood pressure did rise about 5 to 10 PSI. I use it mainly for heart and brain support. 41 | |||

Were you taking HCTZ with the licinopril? If so, what did you do with that? ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath. | |||

I had that intermittent dry cough for about a month or so when I first started Lisinopril, but it went away and has stayed away for the last 5 years, despite continuing Lisinopril. | |||

PSI? Blood pressure is usually measured in mm Hg. Any cocktail can be a shrimp cocktail if you put your mind to it, and if you carry lots of loose shrimp in your pocket. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

That's what happens when you are taking too much taurine. ![]() 41 | |||

Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
because of money That is why I have come to distrust Big Pharma. If they can't "control it" then they dismiss it. They are all about making money and nothing else. No personal offense intended but unfortunately too many in the medical profession seem to be bought & paid for by big pharma, just like in the government. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

I think the studies on taurine are interesting, and it may be safe and effective in measurable things such as blood pressure. However, I need to point out that ACE inhibitors (e.g. lisinopril) have been shown to be preventive in reducing cardiovascular disease events; protecting kidneys against kidney failure particularly for those with protein in the urine, and other benefits in addition to lowering blood pressure. Similarly, statins lower cholesterol, but have benefits e.g. anti-inflammatory effects in the blood vessels that seem to offer protection much beyond their effect on cholesterol. For my patients (if I still had any besides my wife and me) I would recommend lisinopril over taurine as first-line treatment for hypertension, because of the greater evidence of benefit vs. risk. But--keep watching the skies! _________________________ “Few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very foundations of our free society as the acceptance by corporate officials of a social responsibility other than to make as much money for their shareholders as possible." -- Milton Friedman | |||

How about losartan vs. lisinopril? With taurine as an additional OTC supplement? I had the "lisinopril cough," which has diminished greatly, almost disappeared entirely, since switching to losartan, but my question is, are there any down-sides to losartan instead of lisinopril? Any cocktail can be a shrimp cocktail if you put your mind to it, and if you carry lots of loose shrimp in your pocket. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||
