Don’t take this med It is poison. I was never sick with any of this before taking it now I am off of it for almost 3 days and 70% of the side effects are gone. I took it for three years of pure torture. I started the blood pressure med amlodipine, 5 mg because I had hypertension and I had side effects immediately they have lasted for three years straight. The first side effect was a hard time breathing the list is so long, wheezing daily, tinnitus, made my Tourette’s worse, swollen tongue every day numb face, numb tongue, lips swollen and numb, eye site issues felt like somebody was stabbing me in my eyeballs , stroke like symptoms daily, my tongue turned white (48 hours off med today pink tongue is back) ear pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, extreme tiredness and heart beat crazy,nerve pain, severe hot flushing of the skin, severe stabbing random pains all over my body, brain fog where I could barely remember anything, slow like a sloth, static electricity in my brain, when I stood up, heavy arms and legs neuropathy in feet,dizziness, severe lightheaded, could barely function,severe stomach pain, severe back pain and kidney pain,severe fatigue,depression and made me cry, headaches severe itching all over my body, sometimes with hives or without hives, severe itching of the vulva (LS)and perinium area which was diagnosed by biopsy, it ate my gums away to were My nerves in my teeth are showing,swollen gums so I’m possibly losing all my teeth now, severe dry mouth eyes and nose like the Sahara desert and severe nausea,insomnia, severe anxiety and panic attacks.Shaking and severe high blood sugars 350-560 daily after taking it. I have tingling and all my nerves throughout my body. I feel like I’m in fight or flight and fighting for my life every time I take it. It makes my blood pressure go so severely. High I can barely stand. It has never lowered my blood pressure not at all. I think it causes gout. I have severe pain in my bones and my muscles, and it feels like my ligaments are rubber bands, and in so much pain. Severe muscle twitching, and my muscles, feel like they have wasted away in my body. It’s still causes a hard time breathing like I’m running a race just being upright walking. It causes sinus issues to were It feels like my nose is closing up and my throat. One thing I can mention as I had a biopsy done on my vulva area and I was diagnosed with Linchin sclerosis and the second biopsy right next to it said, allergic reaction to oral medication. So cardiologist said quit the medication back in February but I stayed on it because it did help my palpitations at first it made me have weird, crazy palpitations in the middle of nowhere huge palpitations and severe chest pain but then it made my palpitations better 2nd year. so I started sweating so severely and I couldn’t function, and I felt like I wasn’t going to make it much longer. so I went to the store and I felt like I was going to pass out constantly on the medication that was one big issue and it wasn’t because of low blood pressure. My blood pressure was severely high when this was happening and I just decided to finally quit it. I am over two days off amlodipine already and already 70% of the side effects are gone . Tomorrow at 12:30 PM will be three full days off of the medication. There is way more side effects but I figured there’s no more room to write it here. If you have any side effects, get off the med because it just gets worse. I feel like they know this drug is poison and they don’t care. Read More Read Less
