ramipril withdrawal problems

[tigeress77]

I had to stop taking ramipril 1.25mg after a week due to various side effects.  thurs I had severe shaking or chills etc.  so stopped it on advice but 4 days later feeling bit better but I keep feeling funny.

its like my head feels funny and the feeling like your lightheaded - going to faint or collapse but not quite and doesn't go away.

is it a withdrawal effect of ramipril

1.25mg is hardly anything, I'm surprised you feel symptoms. I take 5mg twice daily without feeling a thing.

Thanks for your reply. I was put on it due to diastolic dysfunction. They think as i was taking beta blocker and this that also lowers bp plus another of my meds etc was in the mix too.

I too had a dry cough.

But now ive stopped it its the funny feeling im getting.

In my experience, that wasn't a side effect.  I got a goofy cough, and lots of people get that.  Also, it is common to get a bit of a fuzzy feeling that goes away after a couple of weeks.  Side effects are highly personall, so the drug probably could have caused the problem.
Are you taking it for high blood pressure or a recent heart attack?
