I took Amlodipine for years. I felt worse than ever in my lifetime - tired & fatigued always. At the time, I had hypertension & weighed 190 lbs. I now weigh 100 lbs & my blood pressure is always below 120/80. I have been off hypertension meds for about 5 years & never felt better. How did I lose the 90 lbs??? I changed NOTHING, but added a 1/2 mile walk to my daily activity. It didn't happen overnight, but it did happen. It took almost 6 years, but the 90 lbs disappeared. All it takes is a little patience & perseverance. Nothing happens instantly.

I’ve been on amlodipine for eight years. Others didn’t work. I split my 5 mg tablet in two. Half in the morning and half in the evening. It’s very inexpensive and has calmed me down as a bonus side effect.

@seemev2.0phuckbootube78 Год назад

Yes that is true. my doctor only warned me of the swelling of the ankles. This didn't happen to me luckily sounds horrible by what I'm reading. What it did do after a few months was I started skipping heart beats maybe once a week. It basically knocked me on my arse because when it happened it was like something just sucked all my energy out, my arms hurt to move felt like I had molasses for blood. Few more months go by it starts happening every day. I told my doctor, he didn't know what I was talking about I can't believe he didn't think of this side effect. Once it started happening every day multiple times a day I decided I had enough. Mind you I didn't know what was happening or if something else was wrong. The first dose I missed thing turned around 100% haven't had the issue since so I know that drug would've eventually ended my life.

@Jennifr1966 Год назад

I'm not sure how much a doctor knows about a medication, only if he's getting a good kick back! Ask your pharmacist, read the pamphlet, check out a website where you can put in all your meds and it will check for meds that don't do well together, etc

I was taking this med for three months and it caused me to have extreme stomach pain, loss of appetite and no desire to eat which resulted in me losing 22 lbs. Also fatigue, headaches and depression. As soon as I stopped taking it there was a tremendous improvement. My doctor was more interested in my blood pressure then my complaints about my stomach.

My heart doctor took me off amlodipine and aspirin. One week later I had energy and no hurting or gasping for breath. So happy.

@marionmarking 2 года назад

I've been taking 5mg of Amlodipine for more than 10 years. Some of the side effects sound familiar, but too few occurrences and probably connected to other things I do (physical activity, diet). My doctor says it's key to take it at the exact time every day. If I miss by too many hours, I just skip it that day and make a conscious effort to relax more. So far, so good.

Had most of those symptoms. Discussed with my doctor and that doctor refused to believe it was this medication. His parting words when he agreed to try another medical were "We'll see". That shows in itself how arrogant and uncaring my doctor was. Changed to another medication and all of my symptoms brought on by this medication vanished by day 4. Yes - it was so evident. I didn't go back to discuss the dramatic changes with me stopping this medication. Instead, I changed my doctors practice to a one which listens to patients and actually cares. Makes me wonder just how many people suffer by listening to their doctor when their own bodies are telling them something isn't right...

Stopped using it in 2013. No edema now and no joint pains. I was on three blood pressure medications, but now only on CARVEDILOL 12.5 MG TAB. My levels are average 108/64 and pulse of 62.

@@elizabethnadrau195 I just told my doctor about it and she changed the meds. I was on my honeymoon, I lost my wife and the good Lord provided me with another love of my life. We spend over a month on the road in my RV, That is when I noticed the edema and the joint pain. My wife told me later it was a honeymoon from hell. I was in constant pain and swelling. I was not nice to be with at that time. I survivied. So, that was a very good thing. We now are going on nine years and she has not killed me yet. There is hope. Thanks for your comment.

Your numbers look good. This drug only lowered mine around 15-20 points. I stopped taking it because it was giving me heart palpitations. I feel like it would have killed me. I'm averaging 150 for my top, been like this for over a decade so I guess if I'm going to die, which is unavoidable anyways I want it from my own issues not from taking something that causes a separate issue more severe than the reason for taking them....if this makes sense. ✌️

I'm taking Amlodipine 10mg for 2yrs now. I'm 59. It helps me a lot. No side effects thank God. My night headache has been cured. My bp lowers from 150/100 or sometimes 170/100 to 130/80.

@vickievaughan5246 2 года назад

My BP goes up to 220/120 in my left arm and 230/110 in my right arm. I’m not on any medication. I have had side effects from everything they’ve given me. Last week I went to urgent care because I felt like my BP was up. It was so high they sent me to the hospital.

You need to get your BP down/under control asap.

@@redfury223 thank you for your encouragement. I’ve been going through HELL since June 2021. I now have more problems now than I did when I first found out I had sever hypertension, atherosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. It’s the hypertension that’s is uncontrollable with the medication. Last week it was 220/120. My urgent care sent me to the hospital. They gave me a Xanax and a half of amlodipine, and sent me home. My doctor did an angiogram and didn’t find anything that should cause such high BP. They gave me 4 of the 4 worst medications for hypertension and they all gave me bad side effects. I’m generally a healthy person. I walk daily, don’t smoke or drink. I try to eat well (lots of beets) and don’t touch salt. I live a (on the outside) a very relaxed stressless life. But I still have sever hypertension. I wake up and it’s 182/109. I know I’m putting my life in severe jeopardy. But the medications will kill me anyway. I’m trying everything natural that I can. My husband said,”it’s in my head.” And I think he’s right. How can I change my way of thinking? I pray constantly for a BP of at least 120/80. I appreciate your comment.😊

I had been prescribed 2 other BP meds over the years but was prescribed Amlodipine 5mg about 3 yrs ago. I'm 78. No side effects and it is one of the blood pressure meds that doesn't have a negative reaction with grapefruit. I really enjoy grapefruit, so I'm sticking with it.

I was put on 2.5m Amlodipine several years ago, because my doctor thought I might be under situational stress. So I would take a pill 2-3 times a week. However, over the last 2 years I deceived to start taking it daily. initially it made me light headed and dizzy when I stood up, but that soon went away as I kept taking it. However, in 2019 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. It continued to worsen where it felt like something swollen was in my throat or airway. I went to my primary doctor who referred me to ENT, Endocrinologist, voice specialist and fast forward I ended up in ER the day after Memorial Day 2022. They did a CT Scan and each time everything came back good. While in the ER as I talked with the nurse, she asked did I think I could be allergic to something. I told her no, I didn't think so. But I began to ponder if there was something that I was eating that could cause this. I stopped taking Amlodipine for 7-10 days and low and behold the lump feeling went away and so did the sleep apnea. The whole time it was the side effect of the amlodipine. Please watch out if you get sleep apnea after taking this BP med.

I had many of those “side effects”. The only way I found out about what was happening with my body was when my PCP was on vacation, the replacement told me what I was seeing, even the blood spots under my skin on my legs. I had a decision to make, either continue to take it, or get control of my body and what I was eating. I chose the latter. Against my PCP’s wishes, I did what was best for me!
