User Reviews for amlodipine-benazepril oral

I have been taking this medication for a number of years without problems but in the last 4 months I have been experiencing pretty annoying dizziness; I have been through 3 MRI's and 2 MRA's, all have had normal results. I am now concerned that this medication could be the cause.

This Med was keeping my BP down in normal range. Now that I am losing weight and swimming 5 x a week, I am experiencing low than usual blood pressure numbers, like 109/65 and 107/62 and 106/64 Is this too low? I am seeing my doctor mid-June 2012. Sometimes I feel dizzy and faint when it is low.

Took 5-20 2 x's daily for five years with great results. Insurance switched me to 10-40 1 x per day and I have a marked increase in BP from 128/70 to 160/82 on average. Now have ringing ears and rapid heart beat. Going to see the Doc for a change.

Effectively lowered my BP but after a month am starting to notice vision changes. Will be talking to Dr. about this today.

it's changed my life

Doctor prescribed amlodipine in conjunction w/ lisinopril, since lisinopril by itself wasn't lowering BP . Both keep my BP down, especially after exercising. Didn't seem to have any side effects; other than initially getting lite-headed after standing up too fast; libido is normal. I don't really follow HBP diet guidelines.

Pressure still at the high end (179/83). Also using atenolol.

I was taking amlodipine besylate for some time when I finally realized that the swelling in my feet and ankles might be due to that. I had my doctor change to another med and immediately the swelling stopped and I have no longer had that problem. My husband takes it and it does NOT cause him any swelling.

I cant find the name for this big pik bd pill! (bipolar mania)

bad stomach cramps, indegestion

I am currently taking amLODiPine Besylate along with .81mg aspirin and a diuretic for swelling of my legs. From the beginning I have suffered from insomnia only getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep at night. The doctor then prescribed .5mg daily of Ambiem. I have been doing this for two years. My symptoms are headaches, nausea, upset stomach, heart pounding during the night and always tired. I either switch doctors or medicine. The doctors offers no solution and when I talk to him I get the impression that its normal. I get the impression that 'he knows best' attitude. Read More Read Less

this medication is not lowering my blood pressure.

tried sleepy don't feel like doing anything life is not too good with this drug and I really don't know what else to take my doctor has tried a few other drugs they work for about 6 months and then they quit working or they start causing me problems I go to a family doctorI was wondering should I go to someone the high blood pressure is their specialty and if so what are they called

Four years of usage. Very good results. No obvious bad reactions. Low libido but I am not sure if the medication is the culprit or just not turned on by spouse after many years of marriage. I know I could go all night with new "receptor".

not working as well after many years.

makes me dizzy when i bend down
