    The Ramapril works great!! I am a CPhT at a Pharmacy, and have been on this medication since I was 16 and now I'm almost 20, the only real downer which wasn't as bad as it use to be (when I was on 5mg dosing) I am on 10mg now, but is a serious decline in "getting it up"

    I have been taking 10mg x 1/Day for some 10+ yrs without any side effects. My doc in his infinite wisdom says this is wrong and I need to take 5mg twice a day. This does not seem to suit me as well. Does anyone else have similar issues?
