Hate this med. | M | 65 | 7 days 2.5 mg/day | 6/28/2019 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Stay away from this nasty drug. The side effects snuck on me year after year. I was running to the doctor constantly. I had so many medical tests and they always came out normal. Ive seen so many doctors and specialist and they all knew I took Norvasc. However, they would add more pills for me to take. All of them caused awful withdrawals coming off of. Once I got myself down to two pharmaceuticals, i decided to stop Norvasc for 3 days. My legs for the first time in many years started to uncramp. I was getting withdrawals going off the pill such as a headache. So I split my 10mg Norvasc in two and took 5mg for 3 days. On the 4th day the pain in my lefs was excruciating. I decided right there and then I wasn't ever going to take it again. This drug has caused burning, cramping hot legs and feet, burning mouth, tinnitus, ear itchiness and ear drainage every 3 weeks, throbbing jaw pain, headaches everyday, tmj symptoms with headaches, throbbing jaw, neck pain, shouldet pain, arm, hand and finger pain, upset stomach almost everyday itchy skin, I'm now on day 5 of not taking it. My legs ferl much better. I know it's going to take awhile for my body to heal from this. I can now walk 3 miles per day. I could not have done that before. I'm eating a keto diet. My blood pressure has been fluctuating to the highest of 165/85 after walking, but comes fown soon after. I don't want to take any bp pills anymore. They all have these side effects. I've tried many. I'l | 62 | 35 years 10 | 6/18/2019 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Nausea and sour stomach all day, indigestion, reddening of face, GERD. Weight loss due to stomach issues caused by Amlodipine. | Was switched to this med from Bystolic. BP was 145/92. Tried 5mg to start which resulted in extreme fatigue within 24hours and red flushed face and nausea. Cut meds in half to 2.5 mg BP 123/84 Less. Side effects at first that lead up to severe sour stomach and nausea that never would go away. Pepcid helped some but constantly felt sick. No appetite. Had endoscopy which was completely normal. Weening off of this medication for it makes you feel so sick! There are too many others out there to stay on it. Making appt with cardiologist for they are the experts. My family practice doctor tried but I’m ready for a specialist. All this started because my BP went up with a Breast Cancer diagnosis. Now that I have had time to take it all in I’m sure my BP has lowered and wonder if I need it at all not to mention the 18 pounds I have lost over stress and the side effects of this medicine! | F | 48 | 30 days 2.5-5mg | 6/15/2019 | 1 | High BP | Depression, anxiety, flushing, edema of arms, leg pain, pelvic pain. | F | 51 | 40 days 5mg | 4/13/2019 | 1 | High bp | Day two started feeling depressed. Day three started being worried about tragedies to loved ones. Prayed about all this because that is NOT cool! Woke up on day 4 feeling fine with no worries. Day four started having vision problems. That made me have concerns about stroke. The first noticed vision issues were like the typical "I looked into the sun/bright light, now I can't see things in the center of my vision for a while" type issues, but it wouldn't go away. It got worse as the evening wore on. Nearly couldn't read at one point, the center of the vision was so "not there" and blurred or "wavey". Prayed about it. Then my "can't see the middle" issue went to overall blurry and just.....wierd. that lasted maybe 10 min, then it switched and became like tunnel vision. For a couple minutes its like I was looking through a pipe. Prayed again and finally had a "thought" ...could it be the new blood pressure med? So I researched and found that over 40% of men over 40 years of age experience "blurred vision" and "vision issues" with this medication. Over 50% of "over 40" women do. I started to notice that the "PVC pipe vison" .....well, it's like the pipe I was looking through, the diameter was slowly growing larger and I could see more. In addition, many have reported having thoughts/feelings of "something bad is going to happen." Decided I won't be taking any more, | M | 44 | 4 days 2.5mg | 3/28/2019 | 1 | High B/P and headache. | Severe chest pain. Felt like I had the flu. Sharp stabbing muscle pain. So very tired. | I stopped taking it because of the side affects making me MISERABLE. It did lowered my B/P tho. Just not worth it. Will follow up with Dr. | F | 66 | 4 days 5 mg | 3/16/2019 | 1 | Bp | Strange muscle weakness and joint pain | M | 60 | 0 days 10 | 2/10/2019 | 1 | htn | Short term memory loss and swelling and tingling in hands and feet. | F | 58 | 0 days 10mg | 10/18/2018 | 3 | Hypertension post stroke | Ankle/foot swelling & weight gain initially. Recently flushing disturbed sleep blurry vision running nose headaches painful leg muscles vivid dreams | My bp has been normal since taking amlodipine. I have yearly reviews on all meds ( also take thyroxin).last review was April 2018 - all results normal.My gp asked if I wanted to change amlodipine I said no.But recently the above symptoms are making me miserable.Will see gp again & ask if there is a replacement drug which does not cause these effects | F | 82 | 3 years 5mg | 9/16/2018 | 1 | High blood pressure | My doctor switched me to Norvasc from Lisinopril, because I had a horrible cough 24/7. About day 4 on Norvasc I developed hives on my legs and my throat closed up. I could feel my lymph nodes in my neck swell. I immediately took Benadryl. What a scary feeling!!! Obviously, I stopped taking it. It's now day 5 off this medication, and I'm feeling much better. Working out at the gym 5-6 times a week, and careful about foods with high salt, I am noticing my BP starting to come down. I have an appt with the doc to discuss my severe reactions to these medications (HCTZ, Lisinopril, Norvasc) | F | 57 | 7 days | 7/17/2018 | 1 | hypertension | very dizzy, poor mobility, poor balance, headache, nausea, thick tongue | poison, stopped taking it. side effects take time to subside | F | 69 | 3 days 5 mg 1X day | 7/14/2018 |
