Ramipril "I'm a Type I diabetic with normal blood pressure and I take Altace as a preventative treatment for kidney disease. Side effects have not been an issue and I'm pleased with this medication. More diabetics need to be proactive and encourage their physicians to add ACE Inhibitors and statins to their treatment regime. I'm not just a diabetic, I'm also a scientist."

"I have type 1 diabetes as well. I was put on this medication about 3 months ago. My blood pressure was 127/80, which isn't bad, but because of my diabetes, it was suggested. So far, it's lowered my blood pressure, and I have had no side effects using the pills, and it worked within a month."

"I was initially prescribed ramipril for renal protective purposes due to high proteinuria. I started at 5 mg and was gradually increased to 30 mg over a 2-year period. Side effects: sleeplessness, irritable, panic attacks, overwhelm, inability to cope with everyday life, crying, loss of confidence, unable to complete projects... I thought it was circumstantial, so over a 6-month period, I quit my jobs and focused on reducing and managing the stressors in life. But no improvement!?! The only thing left to remove/try was the drug. I went off it for 12 days and felt like a million bucks! Calm, happy disposition, sleep, I was myself again! But BP went up to 189/116. Hope there is another option for me :("
