Comment:
Began taking amlodipine after my accident in 2003 along with maxzide for blood pressure. Though it helped lowered my BP, it also caused swelling in my ankles, fatigue, and a severely decreased libido. Stopped taking it and replaced it with hawthorne berries and cayenne supplements. BP has been normal ever since and the side effects are gone.

Ankle swelling, headache, both listed side effects. Used in combination w/atenolol w/chlorthalidone since 6/23/08. Diastolic pressure is being stubborn about lowering.
