I have a question regarding the medication Lisinopril
I have been taking Lisinopril for my b/p. It has been a week now. I have two questions. Has anyone taking this medication had frequent urination? Also do you know why they tell you to not take potassium? Thank you

I can't imagine why it would cause increased urination to a notable degree, unless you have one of the combination pills that also contains hydrochlorthiazide.
You should only take potassium supplements under the direction and close supervision of a physician because it tends to cause potassium retention. While other blood pressure medications can cause your potassium to go abnormally low, and a low potassium level can make you feel tired and achy, this one (when taken with potassium supplements) can cause your potassium level to go abnormaly high. The minor side effect that may be your first sign of high potassium is dropping dead suddenly, and that's generally considered bad form in medical circles.
