I am a patient of hypertension for years and have tried a number of medications to control my high blood pressure. And about a year back, my doctor advised me to start taking Monopril.

Monopril is one of the few medicines for high blood pressure whose intensity of side effects diminishes with time. During the early days, when I started taking Monopril, I had some sleeping disorders and thus was not able to sleep properly. I experienced a mild decrease in libido along with increased itchiness.

I also had palpitations and was not able to bear the sun at all. I preferred to stay indoors and kept my air conditioner on through out day and night. Like other medicines for high blood pressure, even Monopril comes with the side effect of dry coughing. It was totally unbearable. I had sleepless nights because of that.


The intake of Monopril also damaged my kidney along with a small decline in white blood cells. My doctor was not pretty happy with the development but decided to try with this medication for some time. 

I was also not able to concentrate properly. I often use to forget what activity I was supposed to do after taking my dose of Monopril. I was often lightheaded as it used to lower my BP more than required.

Then my doctor increased the dose of Monopril. This also affected my emotions extremely so I often used to cry and felt that I would soon have a nervous breakdown.

But with time, all these problems of fatigue, sleeping disturbances, pain, kidney problem and others passed away. Now I hardly experience palpitation and coughing.

Because of regular dose of Monopril my blood pressure is also under control. Monopril is among those few medicines for high blood pressure that do not have side effects for long.
