I like to walk up a hill most days. After a week on Amlodipine, i felt like I was carrying sandbags in my legs. Then felt more heaviness, fatigue. Barely got up stairs. Stopped it and recovered completely in about 2 weeks.
-
Love it! BP was 182/120! Now after a week of 5mg, 129/96!! No symptoms. I also completely cut out salt (or as much as humanly possible) 😃
-
I don’t want to know how to take it. I want to know how to get off of it.
-
Constipation? I stopped taking this med for 2 years, and I no longer suffer from chronic constipation. But of course, my blood pressure is not being controlled anymore, but I'm not dead yet.
-
Useful video for people going on to this drug through having high BP. Age 77 soon so not done badly to keep off high BP. On 5mg and the pressure in down to stage 1 hypertension already. No other nasties so far. But heart attacks the tablets.

I'm on it now I had open heart surg and that's what change my BP meds I can tell now my BP stays low now 😊
-
I have been on this drug since 2011, I never knew you took it for Angina. I had Angina attacks in 2011 when I was taking a chemo tablet, oncologist stopped the tablet and I spent 4 days on a heart ward being checked out, they found nothing wrong with my heart, so now I'm thinking my doctor skimmed over the report saw the word angina and decided I will put him on this drug.
