| 3 | HBP | Legs swelled up from the knees down really bad. Dr put me on water pills which help. Better than the Lotrel I was taking with constant cough and sleepless nights | M | 41 | 1 months | 7/30/2007 | 4 | | 6/25/2007 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | Just headaches for the first few days of taking felodipine | Other than the initial headaches I have not had any problems taking this drug and has proved to be the best hypertensive drug at keeping my blood pressure stable. I do however have to take the tablets along with another hypertensive drug but they seem to do the job well. | F | 30 | 3 years | 6/15/2007 | 1 | Raynaud's | Nausea, fatigue, felt like very bad flu, could not function | Wanted to switch from Norvasc due to nightmares.

I was not tolld the name change until i got home. So far there has been no hanges. Mr Bolood pressure has reduced from 180+ to 106/56. | 90 days | 10/24/2006 | 2 | high blood pressure | vertigo, heart palpatations, fatigue, swollen ankles | The military took Norvasc off the formulary and suggested Plendil as a substitute. My blood pressure runs from 118/80 to 109/87 but I can't stand the side effects. Going back to Norvasc as soon as I can reach my doctor. | F | 68 | 3 months | 10/12/2006 | 5 | high b.p. hemorrhagic stroke | slight swelling of ankles | Been taking for past seven years controls blood pressure | M | 50 | 7 years | 9/5/2006 | 4 | blood pressure control | King size headaches which make me wonder why I take this drug, but then, no drug has been as dramatically effective as Plendil in controlling my blood pressure when it shoots up into high numbers. | M | 75 | 3 months | 8/31/2006 | 1 | high Blood pressure | Mouth very sore like sandpaper inside,very dry, hard to speak and eat..lasted very long time after stopping plendil. | I was taking Norvasc and the medical insurance would not pay for it so the Doctor swiched me to Plendil.

I have suffered much, because of this. | F | 57 | 3 weeks | 7/9/2006 | 4 | Uncontrollable Hypertension | Have been taking Plendil for my uncontrollable hypertension for several years. I haven't had any side effects even though I'm still having blood pressure episodes. I have to monitor my bp daily with my home digital monitor. When my bp is over 180, I usually take an extra 5 mg. of Plendil which lowers it right away and relieves the bp episode symptoms such as pounding headaches. I am now on 30 mg. of Plendil a day (take 10 mg. three times a day) and am getting less episodes. | I've been on 30+ bp meds and am sticking to Plendil since I don't want any more of those horrible side effects I've gotten from the others. | F | 53 | 5 years | 5/20/2006 | 2 | Hypertension | Sudden and alarming drop in blood pressure, dizziness and sore gums.
