A couple of questions:

Robin, you said you're taking 25mg of ACE. Are you splitting the 50mg

capsules?

Also, when you start ACE, are you supposed to take it throughout the day? I

know it was suggested I take it in the morning since that's where my test showed

I need it most, though I was relatively low the rest of the day too. Thanks for

any info on that

-----------Donna, this may take some experimenting on your part. In general,

I would say most people take it in the morning and earlier part of the day. If

you take it too late in the day, it may affect your sleep.

I have been taking usually two doses, one in the morning and one around noon

or so, depending on what time I get up and when I have lunch. I occassionally

take a third dose in the afternoon, if I feel really fatigued.

I believe Sunshine said he takes his all in the morning. And if I remember

right, somebody said they take one in the morning and two at lunch. And I think

I have old instructions from Andy saying to take it 3 or 4 times a day, so I

guess you just have to see what works best for you.

But I would start out taking it in the morning, and then as you build your

dosage, then add a dose around noon, and if you feel like you need it in the

afternoon, then try another dose then, and see how you do.---------Jackie
