User Reviews for Amlodipine

dizziness side effect possibly lowers BP excessively, sit to stand

Caused nausea and swelling of ankles.

Have feet and ankle swelling. I don't know whether to stop it or not. Also have a skin rash, but I don't know if it's from the AB or something else...Sigh...

Increase in urination

ACID REFLUX!! Despite the doctors telling me it can't be, I never had a problem until I started on this,and now that I stopped, it has gone away thankfully. Also, lots of dizzy spells and unusual head pressure. BP was down for a few weeks, but then spiked up. Too many side effects to deal with.

Have been on amlodipine besylate 10mg along w/lisinopril 20mg. Worked great lowered bp from 160-173/100-103 to 117/79. Side effects outweigh the +'s...neck/shoulder ache, severe stomach pain. Stopped taking today and going to get another med.

I was put on 10 mg as B/P was 130 over 58. I can tell you if you want fat legs,feet and ankles then this is the med. to take. It did nothing to lower my B/P.

My feet and ankles swell

BP still a little high, having problems with severe constipation, face & neck flushing, some dizziness & headaches. If no improvement soon, will call Dr. to change....

I have been on this drug for 10 days and it has lowered my BP somewhat. My complaints are that it causes extreme constipation and hiccuping. My opinion is that the negative side effects out weigh any potential positive effects it might have. I am discontinuing the med.

i seem to have chronic headaches

Diagnosed with vasculitis. On 450 mg of lubetalol, 10 mg Norvasc, 2.5 mg Rampril. Swollen legs, no libido. Switched to 1000 mg of magnesium chelate. Stopped Norvasc, swelling gone, bp down to 118/80. Bad reaction to the drug, there are alternatives. Check out Dr. Jay Cohen MD's. book The Magnesium Solution for High Blood Pressure.

I have been on this drug approximately one month and in the past week experienced swelling in the ankles and hot red blotchy areas on the face after the first hour of taking the pill (usually first thing in the AM). The redness disappears later in the day. Dr. does NOT think ankle swelling is from the drug and I beg to differ because never have I had swelling in the enkles - just seems likely that when a person starts taking a different drug and experience symptoms not evident previously - then DAH! This is not rocket science to equate new drug with never before afflictions! I prefer NOT to take any drugs. I am going to half the 10 mg. dosage and see if that helps or go off altogether.Read More Read Less
