I take lisinopril (I was prescribed Bystolic once but felt it was just outrageously overpriced, so I just never took it)...

I have noticed that high bp occurs with almost every psych med I've ever been on. That's 30 years of many, many different meds. I was very thin and my bp at low-normal when I first took an SSRI. My bp immediately went up. During the times I was off meds or only on Klonopin my bp dropped way down. AP's cause high bp. It seems to me that Lamictal does, too. I am very concerned about it.
Do you have the dry cough side-effect with lisinopril?
