I Have Been Taking Lisinopril For About 9 Years For

I have been taking Lisinopril for about 9 years for high blood pressure. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and 4 years ago Osteoarthritis. I have tried Gabbapentin, Venlafaxine and Duloxetine for the Fibro and all have had bad side affects. Gabba -suidical ideation, Venlafaxine just didn't work at all and the Duloxetine didn't seem to work at 30mg a day so dr doubled it and it caused seizures, tongue swelling, bruising, clay colored stools and right side pain. My liver has been biopsied due to high enzymes and Mayo clinic says that the liver enlargement is due to a "drug"...the only drug I was on at that time was the Lisinopril but no one will address that. I think the Lisinopril is a bad drug and I don't think I should be taking it with the Duloxetine at all!! I am afraid of both meds now!!!! Is there any other options to help me with the pain of my fibromyalgia?
