Has anyone ever gone through any type of ACE withdrawal? If so, what were the symptoms and their duration?

if you go to the website of Blood Pressure UK, the charity, there’s an interesting article about ACE inhibitors.

The pharmacist attached to your doctor’s group of surgeries could be the best person to advise you.

I haven't read any that address stopping medication and possible withdrawal effects. I read somewhere that interruption can cause anxiety spikes but I would like to know for sure.

suppose there are ten people on this site who who have come off this medication and reply. Suppose half of them have successfully come off ACE inhibs and the other half say they had problems - you would be no better off. You would not know whether these people had a similar medical and family history, height weight and lifestyle. Would it not be worthwhile, then, to talk to a professional who knows more about them?
