Brief Answer:
Should not be stopped as such

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

Lisinopril is an anti hypertensive medicine that is also used in conditions like heart failure, myocardial infarction etc. If we are stopping, we need to switch to another drug before stopping lisinopril, depending on the indication and clinical profile. So please consult with your doctor in detail before stopping the medicine. After stopping, this drug will be cleared completely from our body in 2- 3 days (it has an half life of 12 hours).

I would also like to ask about side effects you are suffering from.
Why did you opt for stopping the drug? Did you discuss with your doctor about side effects?

Do not hesitate to ask further questions if any.
Wishing you good health.
Thank you.
