This medicine has not worked very well on my blood pressure and caused severe pains in both of my legs. I have stopped taking it.

My Husband has been taking Amlodipine 5mg, then 10mg for 2 years now. I have watched my husbands health deteriorate and I blame it on this drug, and the dr who prescribed it and told him he would have to take it for the rest of his life. 3 visits to the drs office his bp was elevated, and he told him that he needed to go back on meds. He didn't ask what was going on in his life or how he was feeling he just wrote the script and walked out. My husband's demeanor changed for the worse, his libido is nil. He sweats profusely and has gained 40 lbs in these 2 years and has added stomach problems to his laundry list of symptoms. Istead of taking the meds away they add more. His BP has been normal since he started taking the pills, it just goes up when he stresses out about having to go to the dr. His legs are going bad and he has sciatica. I believe that if they would take him off that Amlodipine he could get his health back.Read More Read Less

I was prescribed Atenolol by my ex-doctor when my hypertension was discovered. For almost two months, nothing positive to actually lower it happened. My new doctor advised me to switch to this drug after assessing my condition (43, F, semi-vegetarian, smoker, occasional drinker, exercise present in job). First 2 weeks into it were terrible - chest pains, racing heartbeat, neck stiffness and body pains. After that, everything went okay. From an average BP reading of 150-160/105-115 a day, it's now down to 125-130/85-90. My dose is only 5mg/day which I take every 8am. Quite effective, I think so. Read More Read Less

I feel much better after taking this drug.

I was diagnosed with angina and high blood pressure. Have been taking the medicine for 1 year now. No episodes of chest pain at all. The side effects are dizzy, heart races, very somewhat disoriented at times. I need to discuss a change with the Docotor. Told my husband that I did not understand what was going on with my body but something was out of wack....

I used This drug (10mg) for about eight months. It never lowered my BP. Recently I started swelling on my both feet. After waiting for few days, thought it will go away, It got worst. So I checked in with Doctoer and he mentioned the swelling was due to my BP medicine. He immediately put me ona different medication.

When I started taking Amlodipine one tablet 5mg about 8 PM daily I feel my self better and BP is around 135/90 compare with previous one of 185/105.

This medication brought down my blood pressure, but I have no desire for sex, my skin is dry and itchy, especially my scalp and my hair is getting incredibly thin. I'll try to waite it out to my next doctor appt.

I am taking it for 2 1/2 months. Thought it was fine, athough my blood pressure is not as low as it should be. The other day I had to be rushed to the hospital, my left side was tingling from head to toe and getting numb. I was diagnosed with a TIA, but I think it may have been the medication. I am going to change. Has anyone else had this reaction?

Simple easy & cheap.

Lowered my B.P. to acceptable levels. Caused shoulder pain, mostly in the left shoulder. Some ankle swelling and constipation.

Extremely tired, legs ache, diarrhea, stomach pain, flu like symptoms.
