Hi Donna.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough to be able to take as much into consideration as a competent doctor would.
Since the cognitive (thinking) and affective (mood) symptoms you are concerned with appeared prior to her beginning lisinopril, I would avoid making any changes to its administration. You don't want to risk a rebound hypertensive reaction.
Did her sleeping patterns change noticeably? Does it appear that her symptoms are worse in the morning? Is she less interested in activities that she was once motivated to be involved with? Are her physical movements slowed down?
