The short answer is NO. Lisinopril is a medication that belongs to a family of drugs called ACE Inhibitors. This is because they exert their primary mechanism on the cardiovascular system by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme, interfering w/ conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, thereby reducing blood pressure which is it's primary use. It's also given to patients suffering from CHI (Congestive Heart Failure). Benzos on the other hand bind to benzo receptors in the brain and depending on the particular benzo being used causes sedation, hypnosis and can have an anticonvulsant effect. Hope that answers your question.
