User Reviews for amlodipine oral

It was effective in lowering my blood pressure, but the side effects were not worth it. Severe muscle cramps, vision problems and fatigue were my negative reactions.

drug great but cant get it up anymore wife thinks its her gonna get on another drug tomorrow

What are the side effects?

I am taking [1] Lisinopril 40mg TAB & [1] Amlodipine Besylate 10mg TAB together daily for a couple of years and have had no side affects except for errectical dyfunction. So I give this a 5 star for controling the blood pressure but sex life has been nil.....

Feeling unwell,dizzines,painfull legs,

My husband just recently (2 months ago)began taking amlodipine 5mg. I am seeing a significant change (not good) in his normally calm and patient demeanor, and his sex drive is completely gone. His anger and frustration is being directed at me. I'll be calling his Dr. tomorrow, and hopefully, he'll prescribe something different before it's too late.

This medication was prescribed to me by my cardiologist on 08/01/08. At the time my BP was 156/102. My cardiologist also recommended that I purchase a blood pressure monitor. I used the blood pressure monitor today for the first time and my reading was 122/87. This medication has drastically reduced my high blood pressure in a very short period of time. Also, I haven't had any side effects. Thank You...Hilda Zorrilla!

After three weeks of use(once a day), I have experienced an extremely painful swelling of my feet. Very much like gout except it is not semsitive to touching.

I am taking this for buergers disease, I was recently been prescribed Wellbutrin some of the articles I have read say you shouldn't take these two medicines together.

Prescribed for migraine 5 mg. Some moderate effectiveness. Side effects include itchy scalp, fatigue, and perhaps minor mood disturbance.

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.

I have had a very bad experience with this medication. I have been taking it for about 2 wekks and since then i have had severe chest pains very bad dizziness and fatigue. i read that the chest pains could be a sign of infection from the medication.

works great, except my left leg is hugh! My ankles are large also, but my lef leg is so large, I was sent to have tests done by my doctor. She thought maybe I had a problem with my flow of blood. No problem there!

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.

it makes me sick and out of sorts

Taken this med (5 mg tabs,) plus Metoprolol 50 mg, for 5 months; it has lowered BP well. Recently my ankles have swollen. I started to reduce dosage to 2.5 mg, and hope that will solve the problem.

How long does it take for the med to get working? I have been on for 1.5 weeks

First dose caused severe headache; ankles swelled up after a week on the drug - never had swollen ankles in my life before this.

I have been taking this drug for about 5 years. It worked well for me. However, lately I am having symptoms that I attribute to the drug. I have extreme-severe swelling in my feet, ankles and hands. I went to my doctor and I'm having a few additional tests performed and if there isn't anything else wrong, I am going to ask to switch to another medication.

Pressure was 140/90 before. Hardly came down to 125/90 or so after 5mg for a year. All of a sudden (after a year), I started to have burning and itching sensations on my arms/face/legs and severe constipation. I requested a different drug yesterday and stopped it. Hoping that my rash and constipation goes away.
