Comment:
I was on 5MG for one week only when I had a sudden fainting spell with no warning. The fall caused me to slam my head which resulted in a seizure. I don't know if Amlodipine was the culprit but the faint was a first for me and nothing else had changed in my life. Stated side effects indicate care should be taken during the first week of use, so I quit.

Comment:
Edema, rapid weight gain, neuropathy, tinnitus, shortness of breath so severe it was difficult to exert myself. I also over heated easily. Minor to moderate exertion left me sweating profusely from upper body. Dr took me off 5 days ago and I feel horrible. Feels like Iâ??m having a heart attack.

This drug is dangerous and whomever prescribes it should be made to take it. Within three days the pain in my knee was excruciating and I became depressed. Never ever take this drug. I'd rather have my blood pressure a little high than these horrific side effects...bad, bad, bad....

Comment:
At 5mg of norvasc, after 2 weeks my bp has slightly decreased BUT, now have shortness of breath, swelling in chest, any exertion causes feeling of dizziness and like I am going to pass out, anxiety, muscle pain, shallow breathing like I can't get enough air. This is one HORRIBLE DRUG.
