Lucifer Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I used to take some that "may cause death". What happened then, hello, hello, hello !!!!!!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handypandy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I stopped taking it, tiredness and fatigue mainly, felt like a hangover The hangover effect was probably......... a hangover I hope you went back for an alternative. When I started taking them a few years ago, at first I would be a bit hit and miss with them, constantly forgetting to take them. The doc read me the riot act, saying hit and miss would likely bring on a stroke. I've never forgot since, with no ill effects as far as I know.

samsmum Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 if you take ramipril and they make you itch, get your doc to check your renal function and your liver function if they havent done so in the last 12 months. the ramipril can affect your kidney function, and if your liver function isnt brilliant (most peoples liver function isnt 100% due to modern diet, drinking, drugs etc, its not a problem for 99.9999% of population) then some of the stuff thats filtered out by your liver and kidneys can be left in the system and cause itchy skin. best way to solve that problem is to eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. you should find that helps worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looked the drug up on Google tonight and both these things you had are side effects of the drug. That's interesting, Patricia. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Couldnt sleep last night for itching on the soles of one foot. Dont know why its just affected one foot. Maybe you were just " itching " to get out and about, what good is sleep when there are better things to do ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMozzy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 When you first go in Ramipril or have the dose increased you have to have blood tests to check that liver/ kidney function isn't affected ( well I did). Having an under active thyroid can cause itching too. Edit: oh, I mentioned thyroids on page 1. Perhaps all these things cause memory problems too!

Muldoon Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I must be lucky as I have been taking Ramipril 5mg for 7 years now and have never had any side effects ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I've got the irritating cough thing - had it since I started taking it. I itch a bit, but then again I have thyroid problems too, and that's a side effect of that. I also have dry and sore eyes, which is a side effect of the medication ....I'm falling apart!! Hope you get it sorted - it's not major, is it, but it's bloomin' irritating. This sounds like me - I also have thyroid problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amab1972 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 dont take any tablets without prescription! All medications have side effect if not taken properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
