There has been a really interesting side-effect from me taking Ramipril over the last five weeks or so. Of course, it could be pure co-incidence so I need to see how it goes.
The side-effect is that I feel less prone to getting angry or obsessive about things. I have an obsessive personality (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) but this last month or so I have been feeling really chilled out and less prone to enagage in my usual behaviors.
I very vaguely seem to remember reading that ACE-Inhibitors are sometimes used for people who are somewhat manic.
I can honestly say that I have not felt quite like this (less impulsive and less compulsive) for a very long time. I am not taking any other meds at the moment and have not been doing so for a few months.
Have you or anyone else here heard of this?
Dave
