ie i still have some fluid
i suppose that down dosing might well have the same eventual effect as cold turkey and waiting it out like i did ???

So what do you use now? If it is an ACE inhibitor, that will cause fluid also. I had a HUGE reaction to lisinopril....edema EVERYWHERE... and also a drug induced lupus as well. It built up slowly...so you are not likely to notice, until things get dicey in the chest and everywhere else, for me.
